Secret of 13m hidden in Jamsil and Rafak, PO game-changing 'Homerun Missing'

Why is Jamsil Stadium a hell for hitters and Daejeon Samsung Lions Park (hereinafter referred to as Rafak) a heaven for hitters.
This fall is a variable that will dominate the playoffs between the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins.
Samsung scored eight home runs in the first and second games at home Lapak, winning 10 points in two consecutive games. However, he couldn't hit a home run in Game 3 when he came to Jamsil and knelt 0-1.
Yoon Jung-bin's batting in the sixth inning of Game 3 was a representative one. If it were Daegu, the ball that would have gone over was caught in front of the fence. On the contrary, if Samsung's Kim Young-woong's home run in the first and second games was Jamsil, right fielder Hong Chang-ki's easy catch became a home run.

But why is there a huge difference in the number of home runs. This is due to the difference between left and right. Lapak was built with hexagonal fences, not oval ones with round outfield fences for the first time in Korea. As the fence falls from the center fence to the pole in a straight line, the distance from the home plate to the fence is bound to be close from the center to the pole. The position where Kim Young-woong's home run passed is the position where you can benefit the most.
The figures are clear. The distance between Jamsil and Rafak's left-right fence is 120 meters versus 107 meters. It's 13 meters, a huge difference. If you think that the ball is flying to the same position and the fence is 13 meters behind, you can guess how difficult it is for Jamsil to hit a home run.
A hit that hit well by the batters pulling goes to the left-right center. Lapak also rarely has a home run that goes over the center hexagon fence. There is a secret hidden in this 107m distance. So Lapak has a lot of short-distance home runs. Kim Young-woong's home runs were 110m and 105m distances. In Jamsil, this long-distance home run can be made only when it goes over the pole slightly.
