Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen confirmed Tuesday to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that Chase Field will have a working humidor in 2018.
It's something that has been rumored for a while, and the news is now official. Piecoro notes that "the humidor –- a climate-controlled chamber in which baseballs are stored –- could drastically impact how hard balls are hit and, as a result, how far they travel." The expectation is that this will lead to a significant drop in home runs at was one of the more power-friendly parks in Major League Baseball. It could obviously have wide-reaching fantasy implications. Coors Field in Denver, Colorado is the only other stadium in MLB that uses a humidor and there are scientific theories that point to humidity-controlled baseball storage having a far greater impact in the drier air of Phoenix, Arizona.
