The height of the walls will be lowered in center field (from 8.5 feet to 7 feet), right-center field (from 13 feet to 7 feet) and right field (from 8.5 feet to 7 feet).  The ballpark will lose the first row of seats in right field, about 50 seats in total, because of the alterations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;We wanted to strike the right balance,&#8221; Scott Harris, the Tigers&#8217; president of baseball operations, said Wednesday, &#8220;where we were improving the offensive conditions for our hitters without fundamentally changing the profile of the park, and we felt like we could do that with these changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">10 QUESTIONS:<\/strong>Can Tigers manager AJ Hinch recapture magic touch in third season?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:441px\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/04\/02\/PDTF\/4d250676-d9bf-4e54-a1ab-9fddece71ad4-Tigers_040121_kd1787.jpg?ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/04\/02\/PDTF\/4d250676-d9bf-4e54-a1ab-9fddece71ad4-Tigers_040121_kd1787.jpg?width=1320&amp;height=882&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Detroit Tigers fans practice social distancing due to COVID-19 regulations during season opener against the Cleveland Indians, Thursday, April 1, 2021 at Comerica Park in Detroit.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The dimensions at Comerica Park, long viewed as pitcher-friendly, have been set at 345 feet in left field, 370 feet in left-center field, 420 feet in center field, 365 right-center field and 330 feet in right field from 2003 -2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Laser measurements of the outfield wall, as part of the research process, measured the old center-field wall at 422 feet.  (Also, left field is being relabeled as 342 feet instead of 345 feet.) The new center-field distance, 412 feet, still leaves Comerica Park as the second-deepest ballpark in baseball, behind only Coors Field (415).  The league-average distance in center is 402 feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The entire outfield wall is going to be reconstructed with material and padding that enhances player safety.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1613249008905904157\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Tigers began discussing changes to the outfield dimensions during the 2021 season, and those conversations intensified when CEO and chairman Christopher Ilitch hired Harris as the franchise&#8217;s president of baseball operations in September 2022, replacing former general manager Al Avila.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After hiring Harris, Ilitch assembled a team of confidants to evaluate the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;My general opinion on dimensions is that I would prefer to be on one side of the aisle or the other,&#8221; Harris said Dec.  6 at the winter meetings in San Diego.  &#8220;I would prefer to have the opportunity to have some asymmetry in the environments that we&#8217;re playing. Whether we are on one side of the aisle as a pitcher&#8217;s park, or on the other side of the aisle as a hitter&#8217;s park, we have the opportunity to build a team a certain way to take advantage of the dimensions 81 times a year, because we are the only team that plays in our environment 81 times a year. I would prefer not to be right down the middle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Comerica Park opened in 2000 with spacious dimensions that included a left-center field gap measured at 395 feet, which also featured a flagpole in play, a nod to the flagpole in center at Tiger Stadium for nearly 90 seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Slugging outfielder Juan Gonz\u00e1lez, who joined the Tigers in November 1999 in a trade from the Texas Rangers, was the first player to publicly complain about the spacious dimensions.  In July 2000, the impending free agent said the Tigers would need to move in the left- and left-center-field fences if they wanted to re-sign him to a long-term contract.  Gonzalez signed elsewhere after the 2000 season, and the Tigers didn&#8217;t adjust their fences until 2003.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Before the start of the 2003 season, the Tigers built inner fences and shortened the distance in left-center to 370 feet.  In 2005, the bullpens were moved from right field to the empty space in left field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">NEW BOSS:<\/strong>What makes Scott Harris the leader to believe in for Tigers&#8217; next generation<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">FIRST OF MANY:<\/strong>First big move from Tigers&#8217; Scott Harris shows his blueprint for winning in future<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1377309716989112323\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Following Gonzalez&#8217;s comments, and despite the tweaks in 2003, many Tigers position players continued to complain.  Sometimes, like in the case of Robbie Grossman last season, the dimensions created a mental challenge.  Comerica Park has been a talking point amongst both hitters and pitchers around the majors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I know playing at Comerica Park is going to be good for me, especially with the big ballpark,&#8221; left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez said in March 2022, before his first season with the Tigers.  &#8220;That&#8217;s the way I see it, and that&#8217;s the way I like it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Four of MLB&#8217;s five longest outs by distance since 2020 have occurred at Comerica Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Ten Sept.  14, Riley Greene crushed a 424-foot fly ball to center field for the third out in the bottom of the eighth inning.  In 28 of 30 ballparks, Greene&#8217;s swing would have resulted in a go-ahead home run, but at Comerica Park, it ended the eighth.  The Tigers lost, 2-1, to the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=210&prm-gnteamid=2978&prm-league=MLB#fhp-assetid=69718778007\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The fly ball sparked another round of conversations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">THE ROOKIE:<\/strong>Examining Riley Greene&#8217;s rookie season, Super Two status and future with Tigers<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1570137058827706368\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a game of inches,&#8221; said Greene, who hit five home runs in 93 games last season but would&#8217;ve launched at least 10 homers had he played all his games at 11 different ballparks.  &#8220;I should have hit it harder. It kind of comes down to that. I hit it good, but it&#8217;s just the park we play at. Sometimes it goes, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t. &#8230; If we go somewhere else, maybe it&#8217;s a home run, maybe it&#8217;s not. You never know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;That topic is such a big topic, especially around this ballpark and the time that I&#8217;ve been in this organization,&#8221; manager AJ Hinch said.  &#8220;I haven&#8217;t really thought a lot about it. We play 81 games here. It&#8217;s the same every day. We can complain about it. We can pout about it. We can wonder what if. But it&#8217;s our park. We need to play to the dimensions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The old Comerica Park dimensions were favorable for doubles and triples but unfavorable for home runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Just the park,&#8221; Grossman said in June 2022, less than two months before the Tigers traded the slumping outfielder to the Atlanta Braves.  &#8220;I tried to make some adjustments because of the park we play in, and it didn&#8217;t work for me, so I had to go back to who I was before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">THE VET:<\/strong>Why Tigers feel better equipped to help Javier B\u00e1ez maximize strengths in Year 2<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:441px\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/08\/14\/PDTF\/febd8033-8aab-4e2a-8950-3e4bf47769e7-08142021_tigers-7.jpg?ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/08\/14\/PDTF\/febd8033-8aab-4e2a-8950-3e4bf47769e7-08142021_tigers-7.jpg?width=1320&amp;height=882&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Baseball fans wait for the game to begin between the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland at Comerica Park in Detroit, Saturday, August 14, 2021.\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Tigers&#8217; best player on the current roster, two-time All-Star shortstop Javier B\u00e1ez, is a homer-or-strikeout hitter.  He had mashed at least 20 homers in five consecutive 162-game seasons before signing a six-year, $140 million contract with the Tigers in December 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In 2022, B\u00e1ez had 17 homers: seven at home and 10 on the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He would have hit just 13 homers if he played all 144 of his games at Comerica Park, and he would have hit at least 25 homers if he played those games at 10 different ballparks: Arlington, Texas&#8217; Globe Life Field;  Chicago&#8217;s Guaranteed Rate Field;  Cincinnati&#8217;s Great American Ball Park;  Denver&#8217;s Coors Field;  Houston&#8217;s Minute Maid Park;  Milwaukee&#8217;s American Family Field;  New York&#8217;s Yankee Stadium;  Phoenix&#8217;s Chase Field;  st.  Petersburg, Florida&#8217;s Tropicana Field and Seattle&#8217;s T-Mobile Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It was a priority for us to have a park that doesn&#8217;t play exactly like every other park,&#8221; Harris said Wednesday, &#8220;because we feel like that affords us an opportunity to build a team that is better suited for our environment than our opponent 81 times a year. That&#8217;s an advantage we shouldn&#8217;t overlook, and I think these changes will help us achieve that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">From 2018-22, MLB players produced 5,685 batted balls projected to travel at least 420 feet.  Only 23 of them turned into outs, and more than a third of those outs (eight), happened at Comerica Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Moving forward, those rare outs should have a better chance to be home runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;We feel like too many balls that were barreled to dead center field did not end up being extra-base hits,&#8221; Harris said.  &#8220;We feel like it&#8217;s very dispiriting for a hitter to barrel a ball to dead center and make a 419-foot out. If a few more of those end up being home runs or extra-base hits, we think it will have a positive impact on our hitters&#8217; psyche and ultimately a positive impact on our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>Contact Evan Petzold at epetsold@freepress.com or follow him on Twitter<\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvanPetzold\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|${u}\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\"><em>@EvanPetzold<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There will be some noticeable changes at Comerica Park in the 2023 season.
