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 15,221 plate appearances in 2026.
| 2026 | 2024-2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | 102 | 100 |
| Home runs | 106 | 100 |
| Triples | 79 | 85 |
| Doubles | 98 | 96 |
| Singles | 106 | 105 |
| Walks | 91 | 98 |
| Strikeouts | 95 | 103 |
| Value on contact | 101 | 101 |
| Expected on contact | 99 | 101 |
How much of this is the park? Across 2022–2026, this venue's single-season value-on-contact index moved by ±1.9 points (a 5-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 | 102 RHB | 102 LHB |
| Home runs | 102 RHB | 110 LHB |
| Value on contact | 101 RHB | 101 LHB |
7,328 right-handed and 7,893 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 ±1.9 on twice this sample.
What FVR does about it
Every luck gap we measure at this park has −0.0075 subtracted from it, off 3,729 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 Tight Lot
How a constrained footprint in Cobb County gave the Braves a vertical ballpark and a neighborhood.
Truist Park opened in 2017 in the unincorporated community of Cumberland, in Cobb County, Georgia, roughly 16 kilometers northwest of downtown Atlanta. The Braves had spent the previous two decades at Turner Field, a converted Olympic stadium south of the city center. The new park sits on a constrained lot, and the building bends to that fact.
The Shape of the Lot
Populous designed the park for a tight footprint, and the result is a more vertical bowl than most MLB stadiums. The farthest upper-deck seat is 21 feet closer to the field than the corresponding seat at Turner Field was. That compression carries to the outfield. The wall is asymmetrical — six feet in the left-field corner, eight feet for most of its length, then sixteen feet in right, where the Chop House restaurant lifts the fence. Dead center measures 400 feet, but the deepest part of the park is 402, slightly left of center.
The park is surrounded by The Battery Atlanta, a roughly one-billion-dollar mixed-use development — residential, hotel, dining, retail, entertainment — that opened in stages starting in 2017.
What Happened There
The first regular-season game was April 14, 2017, against the Padres. Hank Aaron threw the ceremonial first pitch to Bobby Cox. Julio Teherán started and won, 5-2 — he had also earned the final win at Turner Field. Center fielder Ender Inciarte recorded the park's first out, first hit, first run, and first home run. Commissioner Rob Manfred and former President Jimmy Carter were in attendance.
Before the first exhibition game on March 31, a section of Interstate 85 in downtown Atlanta collapsed in a fire, creating major traffic problems for fans traveling to the ballpark. The opening went ahead on April 14.
In 2021, the park hosted its first World Series. The Braves played Games 3, 4, and 5 against the Astros, won the first two at home, fell in Game 5, and went on to win the championship.
On the first-level concourse behind home plate, Monument Garden holds a statue of Hank Aaron and a sculpture of 755 baseball bats, one for each home run of his career. The 2026 season is the park's 10th.
