Weather factors to check before first pitch

Wind direction

Whether the wind is blowing out, in, or across the field after accounting for the park orientation.

Roof status

Retractable and indoor parks need separate treatment from open-air parks.

Temperature and humidity

Air density changes how the ball carries, especially at high-altitude parks.

Precipitation risk

Rain, delay risk, and wet-field context can matter more than a headline forecast.

How weather plays at Fenway Park

Fenway Park is open-air, so wind, temperature, humidity and rain are all live factors every game. Fenway Park is essentially at sea level (21 ft), so air density is a minor factor and wind and temperature drive the weather read. Home plate faces northeast toward center field (bearing 45°), so a wind out of the southwest blows straight out to center at Fenway Park, and the reverse knocks fly balls down. The fences run 310′ down the left line, 390′ to center and 302′ to right — the short right field corner (302′) is where a helping wind turns warning-track contact into damage. Park notes: Green Monster (37ft LF wall); Pesky Pole (302ft RF foul pole); Monster Seats atop LF wall.
