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 15,133 plate appearances in 2026.

	2026	2024-2026
Runs	100	104
Home runs	109	111
Triples	76	108
Doubles	93	99
Singles	98	102
Walks	101	95
Strikeouts	101	100
Value on contact	100	103
Expected on contact	101	102

How much of this is the park? Across 2022–2026, this venue's single-season value-on-contact index moved by ±3.5 points (a 10-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	100 RHB	98 LHB
Home runs	104 RHB	115 LHB
Value on contact	102 RHB	99 LHB

7,815 right-handed and 7,317 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 ±3.5 on twice this sample.

What FVR does about it

Every luck gap we measure at this park has −0.0150 subtracted from it, off 3,589 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

The Warehouse at Camden Yards

A park built around a warehouse Baltimore wanted torn down, on old railroad ground two blocks from Babe Ruth's birthplace.

The B&O Warehouse — 1,116 feet of brick, eight stories, the longest brick building east of the Mississippi — was supposed to come down. It sat on the land Baltimore had chosen for a new ballpark, widely seen as an obstacle blocking views of the harbor and standing in the way of progress. Designers realized it could sit perpendicular to the field and serve as a natural backdrop. The thing that was in the way became the defining element of the whole concept.

That decision fixed the orientation of everything around it. The field was sunk below street level so the park would not tower over the rowhouses of Otterbein, Ridgely's Delight, and Pigtown. The site sits two blocks from the birthplace of Babe Ruth and roughly 12 minutes west of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, on ground that had been a railroad center.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened on April 6, 1992 — Rick Sutcliffe pitching a complete-game shutout in a 2-0 Orioles win over Cleveland before a sellout crowd of 44,568. The dimensions run 333 down the left-field line, 363 to left, 376 to left-center, 410 to center, 373 to right-center, 318 to right. The warehouse stands beyond right field, incorporated into the park as backdrop.

During the 1993 All-Star Home Run Derby, Ken Griffey Jr. became the first and only player to hit the warehouse with a batted ball during competition, from approximately 430 feet away. The park had hosted the All-Star Game that same summer.

September 6, 1995. Cal Ripken Jr. played his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking Lou Gehrig's streak, and homered. The sellout crowd included President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Joe DiMaggio, and Cal Ripken Sr. In 1996, Eddie Murray hit his 500th career home run; an orange seat in Section 96, Row 7, Seat 23 in the right-center field bleachers marks the landing spot.

The Orioles have been the only club to play there, and the warehouse still stands.

Since we filed

Since we filed yesterday — the Orioles will open the Corona Flag Court after the All-Star break, a new open-air wraparound bar in right field, per The Baltimore Banner. The addition arrives in the 2026 season, the park's 35th. Right field has measured 318 feet down the line since the park opened in 1992; the bar wraps that space.
