The renovations at the Blue Jays’ home ballpark have altered the field’s dimensions, with this year’s changes shrinking the foul areas at Rogers Centre. Last year's initial phase brought in the outfield walls and made them higher. Some of the reconfigured walls are parallel to the first- and third-base lines.

“It’s such a short foul territory, you can’t run as hard into the wall or you have to make sure you play it differently than what you used to,” Schneider said. “Balls down the line, they’re not really going to kick out anymore, they’re either going to hit that wall and shoot back to the shortstop or they’re going to keep going to the wall so you have to play balls differently.”
“It’s kind of similar to how you play the kick-off in Boston, it’s very similar,” Kiner-Falefa said. “But I enjoy it as a hitter. With less foul ground it helps a lot.”
