Stadium Overview
Located about 2,000 feet west of the Mississippi River, the 3rd iteration of Busch Stadium is a pitcher-leaning venue, thanks in large part to a mostly symmetrical layout with many fence points playing deeper than a typical MLB park. If there is one spot to hit a HR at Busch it's straight-away CF, which measures a couple feet shorter than the MLB average.

The St. Louis venue ranks toward the bottom of the league in expected home runs (27th), and overall scoring tends to sit on the tougher side (24th in runs), but it isn't a true "offense-killer" across the board. In fact, Busch plays surprisingly well for gap damage, ranking 15th for doubles and triples, which fits a profile of suppressing easy homers while still allowing plenty of extra bases on balls that find space.

One notable aspect of the park is that it's pretty susceptible to wind (6th in overall wind receptiveness). Although average wind speed is 8.7 mph (14th in MLB), its direction can vary quite a bit leading to the potential for different day-to-day run environments. Average temperature at Busch is 79.4 degrees (7th warmest in MLB), and typical carry distance ranks 11th, keeping the overall flight environment fairly close to neutral. Overall, Ballpark Pal ranks the venue 10th in park variation, placing it in the upper third of MLB for environmental variability.
