Rogers Centre Moving The Fences In
2 years agoThe Toronto Blue Jays are making their already hitter-friendly stadium (Rogers Centre) even more hitter-friendly going forward. Per sources, the right center field alley is moving in from 375 feet to 357 feet. The left center alley will move in from 375 feet to 366 feet, while center field will move in from 400 feet to 397 feet. The lines are expected to stay the same at 328 feet. This obviously will benefit all the Blue Jays hitters moving forward, while at the same time making Toronto an even scarier place for pitchers. Defensively, center field at Rogers Centre will become much more challenging. Along with the fences being shortened in certain sections, some parts of the outfield wall will also be raised.
