As a Dodgers fan, AT&T/Oracle Park is one of the most beautiful ballparks I've ever had the pleasure of stepping foot in. The splash hits that are accounted for displayed in the park are only for Giants players. But I really appreciate that you included away players' splash hits as well.

No, not true at all. That little cove itself is generally called McCovey, but the entire neighborhood, including the Mission Creek Channel is named Mission Bay. It borders China Basin, which is the other side of the bridge/King Street, and the Dogpatch to the south. Also, the medical facility that takes up that whole southern region just south of the park? UCSF Medical Center *at Mission Bay*.
Possibly the greatest pitcher friendly ballpark designed in modern history. My Mets had one just as unique but the organization shrunk the dimensions 3x already beginning with lowering the LF 16 foot wall. At least Camden yards extended their dimensions and raised their fence.
@@gadbammit4736 they made it to the playoffs because of those dimensional changes. Couldn’t develop pitching there man also opponent drastically slowed HR’s.
@BK_718 Pitching didn't win them in, there pitching is like 7th in the AL They made it to they playoffs because they scored the second most runs in the American league during the regular season.

@@gadbammit4736 I’m not an O’s fan so I wasn’t up to date with their post season mishaps but I know for sure by reading an article on line that the organization had to enlarge the dimensions especially the LF fence because they were consistently getting battered on with homers and were like top 2 or top 3 in homers given up. You just couldn’t develop pitching there man. It was ban box.
Ok I've been lucky enough to be in San Francisco some years ago & this video don't do that ballfield justice ❤. That is a very beautiful ballfield up close and in person. 👁️👁️😎
pnc opened in ‘01 and there’s only been 73 home runs into the allegheny, and oracle is known as more of a pitchers park where pnc is usually pretty even
Couple reasons for that: PNC has an entire section of seats above the wall and even without those it's much further from the plate to the water. Oracle is more of a pitchers park because the cold air and swirling winds at night tend to knock down hard hit balls.
Beautiful stadium, visited and attended 2 giants games and I was very impressed with the layout/setup of this place. Again, a beautiful place to watch baseball
I remember as an 8 year old, my dad taking me to Candlestick Park the first year it opened in 1962. I saw the likes of Mays, McCovey, Marichal, the Alou brothers, etc.
I’ve played there once and when you’re on the field, you can feel the wind pushing down anything going towards right field. It’s an impressive ballpark to watch a game. It’s even more impressive playing there.
Yes, San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos hit the first right-handed "splash hit" home run into McCovey Cove in the history of Oracle Park on Sunday, September 15, 202
As a dodgers fan I absolutely love oracle park. Been there once and there’s nothing better than seeing a baseball go into that cove when somebody hits it out there
Something that helped me a ton this offseason was buying some chalk and making a target to throw at with my plyos on the wall I was throwing into. Really gives more purpose to each rep and helps to reinforce your new pattern.
One thing you failed to mention, the “Splash Hits” counter only includes home runs hit by Giants players. Plenty of opposing players have hit balls directly into the bay, but they don’t count towards the tally.
Patrick Bailey the most recent, I was supposed to be at that game but I ended up not being able to go. He my favorite player and he went 4-4 that game 😭 He’s currently on concussion list but the giants are finally firing up the bats! I’m a huge fan and love to watch go giants
Reminds me of PNC park in Pittsburgh. Right field wall is 21 feet high in honor of Clemente. A really long homer can end up in the river. There have been 74 homers to reach the river.
i come with the news that heliot ramos is now the first righty to hit a ball into mccovey cove as of today
YT suggested this to me last Saturday. They must have known something!
I was THERE
I was about to say, wasn't there someone who JUST hit a HR as a righty?
si señor, Heliot Lemuel Ramos Lebrón
@@MLBTheShowCommunityQuestionssame, was there for my bday and it was amazing
Barry Bonds has 35 of the 166 😂
Roids or not, you gotta know how to hit to the right spots.
Felt like more back then
Really there’s only 103 Splash Hits because the away teams don’t count
None batting right handed though, so he can't have been that good.

That would've gone directly over my head, but I had to get covid 3 days before. Stupid covid!
Giants all-time leaders in Splash Hits:
1. Barry Bonds (35)
2. Brandon Belt (10)
3. Pablo Sandoval (8)
4. Mike Yastrzemski (6)
T5. Denard Span (5)
T5. Lamonte Wade Jr. (5)
Denard Span wasnt a power hitter in Minnesota... weird
@@Trizzer89 Span was a contact hitter with some pop
@Trizzer89 he only hit 71 home runs in a 11 year career and only had 12 as a career high

Of his 23 home runs as a giant 5 were splash hits? That's a .217 average and that's not excluding his away homeruns

Best ballpark in baseball
Everybody in the SF Bay area calles it McCovey Cove. I grew up there and this is the first time I have heard it referred to as Mission Bay.
Literally no one except for baseball people call it that
McCovey Cove is part of San Francisco Bay. Mission Bay is in San Diego.

Weird, because it seems like any left handed pull hitter should be able to hit it 309'. Also, rolling it into the farthest corner should be a triple
The Orioles just lost out of the playoffs because they couldn't score

So many amazing memories here. Go giants!
I don’t like baseball but love going to Oracle Park a few games a year. The sunset in the background of a game is a core memory for me.
Well, I'm sure other Bay Area people just like to go to the park and eat its food, drink its alcohol, and otherwise walk around the promenade.
@@ldfreitas9437 good observation.
RIP Willie Mays
Heliot Ramos was the first right hand hitter to hit a splash hit and it was at the end of this year.
I swear it felt like Barry bonds was hitting balls into that water every game lol
That meter for splash hits only counts hits by Giants players. The real value is therefore roughly double.
You would think it’s double but giants have got 103/169 splash hits
If you discount Bonds’ splash hits then it becomes half each
Heliot Ramos has entered the chat
Fr
Aaron Judge is showing a lot of power to the right, he has the stroke to do it.
It'd be cool to see Judge, Stanton, or maybe Soler hit one
If Cabrera would have stayed in the national league he would have done it

Mainly due to the Clemente Wall. And only like 7 or 8 have been on the fly.

Pacbell is one of the coolest ideas for a baseball stadium. I have never seen any arena built so seamlessly into a dock.
The giants are my favorite and this stadium is beautiful
I love that park, so many memories of going with family.
Seeing how beautiful this park is and the scenery around it lowkey makes me wanna be a giants fan
The neighborhood is named Mission Bay, the body of water is called McCovey Cove, which is part of San Francisco Bay.
It catches me so of guard when some one says my name when i am jus watching a baseball video 😂
Mission Bay the bay is in San Diego. The Mission Bay is the neighborhood that the park is in.
This is also Mission Bay
Petco is not on Mission Bay. Petco is closest to San Diego Bay, near downtown San Diego. Mission Bay is about 10 miles north of downtown.
Bonds hit 35 of em
Rip Candlestick Park
I remember as an 8 year old, my dad taking me to Candlestick Park the first year it opened in 1962. I saw the likes of Mays, McCovey, Marichal, the Alou brothers, etc.

In the alternate reality where Aaron Judge signs with the Giants I could easily see him hitting many splash HRs

I don’t know how he doesn’t have 5 million subscribers 🤔🤷♂️
What also makes difficult is the wind blowing in from RF knocks balls down.
Crazy how rare splash hits are now when Berry Bonds was knocking them out there on the regular
I think Bonds has the most splash hits and Brandon Belt might be second
Bonds, Belt, and the Panda are top 3 in the most splash hits in the park’s history
Bonds has the most by far!!
Imma take a wild guess and say Heliot Ramos will be the first righty to hit a splash hit
Judge will be the first RHH to do it
heliot ramos did not surprise the guy is a beast💪
I left SF in 1990. I always wondered where they put the new ballpark. I still call it new.
That's wild a RH hasn't hit one in the water
Heliot Ramos: "Challenge Accepted"
"Known to many as McCovey Cove"... what the heck else anyone call it... ive never heard it called anything else.
Patrick Bailey the most recent, I was supposed to be at that game but I ended up not being able to go. He my favorite player and he went 4-4 that game 😭
He’s currently on concussion list but the giants are finally firing up the bats! I’m a huge fan and love to watch go giants
IT WAS RAMOSS
As a lefty who always pulls it, this would be the stadium I would love to play in.... if ya know... I could play the game with any skill at all.
My guess is Austin Riley when the Braves come. Yesterday (06/21) he hit an opposite field homer 413 feet.
POV: You're watching this after Heliot Ramos hit the first roght handed splash hit
*Aaron Judge* is your man.
*#99*
Playing there next week
2 homeruns yesterday but none into the cove 😂 Let’s hope for today and tomorrow
The field just cuts off lmao
God I hate corporate stadium names
I think bichette as well he is a great opposite field hitter vlad could of he times a perfect 4 seem fb
You're about a few months late. Heliot Ramos was the first right hander 💀
Reminds me of PNC park in Pittsburgh. Right field wall is 21 feet high in honor of Clemente. A really long homer can end up in the river. There have been 74 homers to reach the river.
Righties-swing early
Southpaw-swing late
Results may vary.
Didn't paul goldschmidt almost hit an opposite field homer into the water while with the dbacks? I swear he came close one time lol
My boy Heliot Ramos 🔥
Surprised Mike Piazza never did it, he had tremendous opposite field power.
Goldschmidt.
He’s already the only right hander i know of to have ever hit a homer into the Allegheny
UNTIL LAST NIGHT!!
live right down the street from it
