00:00How Truist Park shapes the Braves roster building.

00:03The Braves don't build in a vacuum.

00:06Truist Park's run-scoring profile,

00:08home-run carry, and alley-depth nudge Atlanta

00:10toward certain player types.

00:12As the front office turns its attention to 2026

00:15and has already identified its needs,

00:18the data provides a clear blueprint.

00:20By recent park factors,

00:22Truist muted over-the-fence damage.

00:24The home-run factor landed below league average,

00:27while overall run-scoring hovered near neutral

00:29and singles-doubles held steady.

00:31Dimensions trace a classic shape

00:33with deeper gaps than many parks,

00:35which helps explain the way contact plays here.

00:38That pushes personnel choices toward bats

00:40with consistent barrel quality and all-field contact,

00:43rather than loft-only profiles.

00:46One small tiebreaker.

00:47Right center's depth favors hitters

00:49who can use the middle of the field

00:51rather than living purely pull-side.

00:53When carry is suppressed,

00:55fly-ball reliance without loud contact gets volatile.

00:58Power still matters.

01:00It just needs impact.

01:01Atlanta can chase damage hitters,

01:03but the safer fits pair exit velocity baseline

01:06with line drive rates that travel in this yard.

01:09On the margins,

01:10athletic base running gains value

01:12because more singles and doubles

01:14sustain first-to-third chances.

01:16The deeper alleys reward pitchers

01:18who work ahead and keep the ball

01:19in the big part of the park.

01:21That leans toward strike throwers

01:23who limit barrels plus outfielders

01:24whose routes and closing speed

01:26convert extra-playable balls into outs.

01:29In the bullpen,

01:30one true bat-misser remains essential

01:32to short-circuit cluster innings

01:33that park size alone can't solve.

01:36For right-handed bats this winter,

01:38contact quality and all-fields power

01:40become useful tiebreakers.

01:42For left-handed hitters,

01:44pulled loft alone may not be enough.

01:46On-plane contact is also helpful.

01:48On the mound,

01:49the park can support contact managers

01:51so long as the defense is built to fly,

01:53while high leverage relief

01:55still benefits from swing and miss.
