Just a couple weeks ago, Josh Naylor made a statement that caught the attention of Seattle Mariners fans.

Seattle Mariners keep pace in playoff race with walkoff win in extras

Naylor, speaking postgame with Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob, said he thought that T-Mobile Park was a ‘hitter’s park.’

Naylor’s statement grabbed attention for good reason. It’s a well-known fact that Seattle’s home ballpark suppresses offense.

According to Statcast’s park factors, which measures each stadium’s impact on offense, T-Mobile Park ranks last with a three-year park factor of 91, meaning offenses perform 9% below league average. The next-closest park, Oracle Park in San Francisco, has a 96.

But even baseball’s toughest stadium has hitters who excel in its confines. Naylor happens to be one of them.

The first baseman has shown why he made the comment since arriving from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a July 24 trade. He extended his hitting streak at T-Mobile Park to 11 games on Wednesday night, and has hit safely in 16 of 18 games in his new home stadium since the trade.

According to Mariners senior manager of baseball communications Alex Mayer, of 443 players with at least 50 plate appearance in a single stadium this season, Naylor’s .724 slugging percentage and 1.162 OPS at T-Mobile Park entering Wednesday were both the best in the league. He was also hitting .379.

Naylor clearly likes hitting in Seattle. He pointed out another factor he likes about the ballpark Tuesday night.

“The fans get so excited. They get pumped up in big moments. It’s kind of unexplainable,” Naylor said after a 5-3 win over the Cardinals. “It’s super cool to be a part of. Sometimes you kind of feel the ground shaking (because) it’s so loud. Sometimes you can’t hear your own thoughts because it’s so loud. And that’s what you want, that’s what you want to play in.”
