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 Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium is open-air, so wind, temperature, humidity and rain are all live factors every game. Yankee Stadium sits at 55 feet, a modest elevation where wind and temperature matter more than air density. Home plate faces east-northeast toward center field (bearing 75°), so a wind out of the west-southwest blows straight out to center at Yankee Stadium, and the reverse knocks fly balls down. The fences run 318′ down the left line, 408′ to center and 314′ to right — the short right field corner (314′) is where a helping wind turns warning-track contact into damage. Park notes: Short Porch in RF (314ft); Monument Park beyond CF.
