After the firestorm surrounding all of the home runs in the new Yankee Stadium, it looks like things might be starting to even out.
The Yankees' pitching staff home/road splits:
Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | BB | SO | SO/BB | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS |
Home | 281 | 2745 | 2434 | 306 | 605 | 101 | 9 | 89 | 259 | 565 | 2.18 | .249 | .325 | .407 | .732 |
Away | 250 | 2690 | 2376 | 351 | 595 | 135 | 13 | 73 | 240 | 538 | 2.24 | .250 | .326 | .410 | .736 |
Not a heck of a lot of difference there.
The hitters?
Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | BB | SO | BA | OBP | SLG | OPS | |
Home | 744 | 2706 | 2354 | 395 | 656 | 128 | 3 | 122 | 298 | 408 | .279 | .364 | .491 | .855 | |
Away | 781 | 2927 | 2588 | 414 | 737 | 158 | 15 | 97 | 288 | 476 | .285 | .359 | .470 | .829 |
Obviously, the Yankees have hit better at home than on the road, with 25 more home runs in 219 less plate appearances. Given the pitching splits, though, it's hard to blame this discrepancy on the stadium. The Yankees just have a strong lineup that takes advantage of right field.
