There was a lot of complaining about the number of "cheap" HRs hit the last 3 games between the Braves and Yankees. Many comments like "Judge should hit 80 HRs in this stadium", and, "Harper will hit 65 HRs as a Yankee", also sprung up as folks complained.

Let's take a look.

A spray chart of all FBs and LDs hit by the Yankees during the last 3 games plotted over Yankee Stadium:



Those same batted balls plotted over Suntrust:



The naked eye sees 1 less HR to RF, the silly wind blown Judge HR.

What about the Braves? Here are their FBs and LDs from the 3 game series plotted over Yankee Stadium:



Those same batted balls plotted over Suntrust:



I see 2 HRs by the Braves to RF that probably don't leave Suntrust, and one to CF that probably does (poor Albies). A net gain of 1 HR.

The point? Fans dramatically overstate how much effect ballpark dimensions have on HR totals.
