Is Wrigley Field a pitchers park?
Although the ball really gets knocked down when the wind is blowing in, Wrigley is still overall a “hitter’s park.” Besides the relatively small dimensions of the “in play” areas, the limited foul territory and on-field bullpens limit the number of “easy” pop-outs. Pop flies that might be caught by the first-baseman or third baseman in other parks are five rows deep in the Wrigley stands, and having the bullpens in foul territory mean fielders might not charge foul balls as agressively to field them.
