May 18, 2015 · According to this graphic, as of 2014, the average Left Field wall sits about 331 Feet from Home Plate, while the average Right Field wall sits about 328 Feet from Home Plate. So basically they are about the same distance, I wouldn't think it'd give either side much more of an advantage.

Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 330, 387, 410, 387, 330 The K, constructed in the late ’60s and early ’70s, was built during the boom of “cookie-cutter” multipurpose stadiums. And while neighboring Arrowhead Stadium hosted Kansas City’s football team, Kauffman retained the same symmetrical dimensions associated with the era’s base...
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 328, 375, 400, 375, 328 Kansas City and Toronto are the only two stadiums in MLB with symmetrical outfield dimensions and uniform wall height.
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 336, 375, 400, 375, 335 When the multipurpose Busch Stadium II was replaced by the current ballpark, the Cardinals only changed the dimensions minimally. Though the walls are straight rather than curved, the stadium plays much like it did when Mark McGwire was chasing Roger Maris’s record.
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 330, 360, 375, 400, 375, 360, 330 Built in 1962, Dodger Stadium looks a lot like Kauffman, but the Chavez Ravine park gets a few bonus points for its low walls (four feet) in the corners that allow for some spectacular home run robberies.
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 330, 375, 400, 375, 335 The dimensions of “New Comiskey” when it opened in 1991 were quite similar to those of its predecessor, with the foul poles 347 feet from home plate. A renovation beginning in 2001 brought the fences in at the corners to 330 feet in left and 335 in right, similar to Old Comis...
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 330, 388, 400, 388, 330 The Coliseum is the most charmless stadium in all of baseball. It’s a crumbling former football stadium built in 1966 that’s rarely more than half full. That outfield, though, does have some charm. One of the peculiarities of the multipurpose stadium is the retractable seatin...
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 344, 386, 400, 387, 335 Removing the wacky home run sculpture in centerfield diminished the charm of Marlins Park in more ways than one. The psychedelic, animatronic work of art was taken down before the 2019 season but the outfield fence still curved around its former home. For the 2020 season, the...
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 344, 371, 400, 374, 345 The distances are nearly symmetrical but the fences meet at some unexpected angles, which at least adds some uncertainty to balls hit off the wall.
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 331, 378, 401, 381, 326 Seattle’s ballpark used to be one of the most pitcher-friendly in baseball. Specifically, a cavernous left-centerfield power alley allowed more doubles (and way more triples) to righthanded batters than to lefties. But the Mariners moved in the fences in that part of the park...
Measurements, in feet (L-R, dead center in bold): 335, 358, 385, 408, 398, 375, 330 Citi Field is a monument to doing too much with a modern outfield wall. When it opened in 2009, it was one of MLB’s most spacious parks. It also boasted some very tall fences. Out in left, “The Great Wall of Flushing” stood 15 feet tall and 384 feet away. Only three...

Oct 30, 2022 · According to mlb.com, the main dimensions of a baseball field are: Distance from home plate to the center field wall – 400 feet; Distance from home plate to left and right field wall – 325 feet; Distance between bases – 90 feet; Distance between the back of home plate and the pitcher’s mound – 60.5 feet
The areas either side of the centre field are known as the ‘left field’ and the ‘right field’. These areas typically measure between 320ft/97.5m and 350ft/106.7m on the majority of MLB fields.
While there are no lines that distinctly define center field, center field is the general area of the outfield that sits between right field and left field. In other words, center field is the middle section of the outfield.
The Outfield. The outfield should be at least 250 ft away from home plate, though it's generally considered 325 ft is the minimum along the foul lines, and 400 ft to center field. The outfield is normally surrounded by a wall, but there is no uniformity with outfields and their walls.
