Re: Home Park Effects
With just more than half a season in the books, I thought I would revisit the effect Black Sox Park is having on our hitting and pitching. Again, this is just half a season, so the sample size is still limited - but it's larger than the one in our May review.
And the results - especially for pitching - are telling. The hitting, as you'll see, has evened out. In fact, the Sox hit slightly better at home than on the road.
But our pitchers ... well, see for yourself.
Here are a few tables that break things down:
