• Altitude-the number one driving force in runs scored and high ERAs.
• Size of Ballpark-contributes to more home runs that wouldn't be home runs in conventional ballparks.
• Quality of pitching staff-teams with historically good pitching staffs have lower era.
• Lights/Visibility-places that have shadows and poor lighting are obviously harder to have higher run scores.
• Proximity to the Pacific Ocean-Breeze from the Ocean.

There is no place in the Pecos League or the World that can top the combination of Fort Marcy Park home of the Santa Fe Fuego.The Fuego have hosted 371 Pecos League Games in the last 11 years and the combined average runs per game is 22.15.A combination of 7000 feet elevation in Santa Fe with a short fence and good visibility turns it into the ultimate hitters park where no lead is safe.

The question that was always asked was between California City and Santa Fe which was more of a launching pad, and the answer is clearly Santa Fe.
Despite having small dimensions and really good lights California City is almost 4 runs a game shorter than Santa Fe.

What is the leagues biggest graveyard?By far is was Santa Cruz's Harvey West Park at a little over 10 combined runs per game.One of the reason for the low run totals is the high amount of 7 inning games that were forced to be played there due to home and home doubleheaders with Monterey.It had terrible visibilty and innings 1-4 batters had to contend with 4 shadows that landed in between the pitcher and the hitter.The infield grass was as thick as out of bounds at a golf fairway.The white building behind center field also helped the ball blend in so the hitter had problems.There were almost no home runs hit in this grave yard with 36 foot elevation.The current from the ocean breeze blew direct in from Center field making Santa Cruz a graveyard.The Seaweed did not have one of the top pitching staffs either year the Pecos League played at Harvey West but it didn't matter as long as they played at home.

The biggest surprise on the list is Martinez which is actually below Pecos League Average.To the naked eye Watefront Park has very short dimensions to center field and great lights.This sand trap keeps all balls in the infield that would be hits at almost any other field.When the park was converted for Professional Baseball in 2018, the owner of the Martinez Clippers team had Fescue grass installed in the infield and the fence elevated.The jet stream breeze from Carquinez Strait stops many potential home runs in their tracts.
