The Bill ...Good point. So he could be even higher.<br /><br />The Bill James Handbook gives Angels Stadium a HR factor of 81 for the years 2010-2012. I think that means that the HRs per AB for RHB is only 81% of what it is for the league average (or 19% less). So that could factor in.<br /><br />I don't know where there is a SLG park factor. But last year the Angels batters slugged .428 at home and .437 on the road. <br /><br />Usually teams do better at home. For all of the AL last year, it was .423 at home and .399 on the road.<br /><br />The Angels pitchers allowed a .367 SLG at home and .440 on the road. Yes, pitchers usually do better at home, but for the whole league it was .397 home and .421 road. The Angels had a much bigger advantage than normal at home.<br /><br />So this points to a tough park for Trout.
