The Kansas City Royals announced they will be repositioning their outfield fence, pulling in the corners by nine feet and the center field alleys by ten feet, while maintaining a 410-foot distance to dead center. General manager J.J. Picollo stated this move aims to enhance the team’s offense without adversely affecting pitching. Kauffman Stadium has historically been a challenging park for power hitters, particularly left-handed bats, making these changes beneficial for players like Jac Caglianone and Vinnie Pasquantino. The Royals seek a neutral park factor for home runs to allow hitters to maintain consistent approaches both at home and on the road.
