Pitcher's Haven

Hits wait longer here than almost anywhere — a top-five park for keeping a bid alive.

Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, has seen four no-hitters. The most recent was thrown by Justin Verlander for the Astros against the Blue Jays on September 1, 2019. Measured by how long the first hit takes to land, the park is one of the five friendliest parks in baseball to a no-hit bid, No. 5 of 30: the first hit lands in inning 1.83 on average, later than the league's 1.77.

The home ballpark edge

home vs visiting pitchers

How the first hit falls for home pitchers versus visiting teams at this park. (In neutral-site games, MLB’s designated home team counts as the home side.)

League-wide, home teams hold off the first hit until inning 1.81 on average, and visitors only until 1.73. A single park’s split says as much about its home club’s pitching as about the park itself, and the sample is small.
