BALLPARK FACTORS of the UMEBA - 2042

[RonCo]

Sharing the ballpark love in the middle east, this might or might not go a little way toward understanding (again in part) the offensive mix of the UMEBA???

Manama	0.982	0.995	0.975	0.770	0.650	1.111	1.105	1.115

The Bancroft, in particular, seems to be full of wildly offense-generating ballparks. The Burt's parks depress everything except HR:

	AVG	AVGL	AVGR	2B	3B	HR	HRL	HRR
UMEBA	1.011	1.004	1.016	0.952	0.985	1.078	1.086	1.073
BANCROFT	1.052	1.033	1.062	0.957	0.990	1.122	1.150	1.107
BURT	0.971	0.975	0.970	0.948	0.980	1.033	1.022	1.039

And, while offense is not all park-related, here are some interesting numbers to lay beside those park factors...

Through July 21, 2042:

	BABIP	AVG	HR	R	AB	H	2B	3B	BB	K	OBP	SLG	OPS	SB
BANCROFT	0.323	0.29	661	2750	17454	5070	818	118	1459	3261	0.353	0.464	0.818	346
BURT	0.308	0.273	611	2575	17126	4677	760	95	1494	3465	0.339	0.436	0.775	288
BANC DELTA	4.9%	6.2%	8.2%	6.8%	1.9%	8.4%	7.6%	24.2%	-2.3%	-5.9%	4.1%	6.4%	5.5%	20.1%

And here I thought that either all UMEBA parks were neutral or park factors were turned off. I learn something new with OOTP and/or BBA pretty much every day!

Love the idea of the two leagues being so different...makes trades, free agent preferences and, most importantly, the United Cup match-ups all that more interesting.

I've kinda used this year as a spring training, but I'm curious to see what my first UMEBA free agency will bring. I have enough holes on the Chariot Archers to worry about ballpark preferences...but I should worry about that too!

Yeah, I was quite intrigued by the differences between the leagues.
