How it plays

Every number is an index where 100 is league average. There is no such thing as one park factor — this park does different things to a triple than it does to a home run, and the only honest version is the whole row. Off 14,993 plate appearances in 2026.

	2026	2024-2026
Runs	90	94
Home runs	77	79
Triples	152	138
Doubles	89	104
Singles	100	102
Walks	101	95
Strikeouts	94	96
Value on contact	92	96
Expected on contact	97	97

How much of this is the park? Across 2022–2026, this venue's single-season value-on-contact index moved by ±2.8 points (a 8-point spread over 5 seasons). The league median is 3.0. Read a single season's figure with that much slack in it — the walls do not move, and the number does.

By the batter's side

Runs	86 RHB	96 LHB
Home runs	83 RHB	72 LHB
Value on contact	91 RHB	94 LHB

7,504 right-handed and 7,488 left-handed plate appearances — each side is half a season, so read these with at least the slack the combined figures carry — the band above is ±2.8 on twice this sample.

What FVR does about it

Every luck gap we measure at this park has −0.0161 subtracted from it, off 3,572 balls in play here this season. That is the number behind every board on this site, which is the only reason it is printed. It is not on the 100-is-average scale above: it is value on contact per ball in play, so it cannot be added to or subtracted from any index in this table. The two can even point opposite ways — Savant's runs index counts all offense, ours is only the residual against what the batted balls deserved.

The lore

Oracle Park

The Giants' home since 2000, built at the edge of San Francisco Bay, where home runs land in the water.

The Cove

Oracle Park sits at the edge of San Francisco Bay, built so close to the water that a 27-foot-wide sidewalk is all that separates McCovey Cove from the right-field fence. The foul pole out there stands 309 feet from home plate. A ball hit just right — over the wall, over the sidewalk, into the bay — becomes a splash hit, and through the end of the 2024 season, Giants batters had produced 105 of them. Barry Bonds hit the first on May 1, 2000, less than a month after the park opened, and accounted for 35 in total. Heliot Ramos became the first right-handed batter to reach the Cove on September 15, 2024.

Opening Day and After

The park opened on April 11, 2000, the Giants hosting the Dodgers. The pregame ceremony included dirt from every National League ballpark spread across the infield. Los Angeles won 6-5, with Kevin Elster hitting three home runs. In the early seasons the Giants employed a team of trained Portuguese water dogs — BARK, Baseball's Aquatic Retrieval Korps — to fish home run balls out of the Cove. The retrieved balls were auctioned for animal shelters. The program lasted only a couple of years.

The building has worn four names: Pac Bell Park at opening, SBC Park in 2004, AT&T Park in 2006, and Oracle Park in 2019. The Giants have called it home since 2000. The 2026 season is its 27th.

What Happened There

Matt Cain threw the 22nd perfect game in major-league history on June 13, 2012 — the first in Giants franchise history. That October the Giants swept the Detroit Tigers in the World Series. Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs in Game One, and the Giants won Game Two 2-0 behind seven shutout innings from Madison Bumgarner.
