Orioles to Modify Camden Yards' Left Field Wall Again

Baltimore aims to balance hitter and pitcher dynamics by adjusting the left field dimensions for the 2025 season.

The Orioles plan to move the left field wall at Camden Yards in by 9 to 20 feet and reduce its height, following a previous change that made the park overly pitcher-friendly.
General Manager Mike Elias acknowledged the 2022 adjustments were an overcorrection, shifting the park's ranking from one of MLB's most hitter-friendly to 19th.
The changes aim to create a more neutral playing environment, addressing feedback from players about the extreme impact on right-handed hitters.
Renderings of the new dimensions show a less drastic alteration compared to the 2022 modifications, which had moved the wall back nearly 30 feet and raised it by 6 feet.
The adjustments are part of a broader strategy to maintain a balanced style of play and potentially attract free agents, including right-handed sluggers.
