Pitcher's Park was designed to make it a long day for hitters, as the name implies. 85' down the right field line with a 12' high fence running perpendicularly toward center field, peaking at 100' in the right-center power alley. The left field line was 91' and quickly jutted out to 95' within the first ten to fifteen feet of the line, and then running perpendicularly away from the line, getting very deep in the power alley before forming a strange section in deep left-center, designed to hold a flag pole, with an approximate deepest point of 118'.
For the 2011 season Pitcher's Park was made the home field of the Flying Squirrels and rechristened as The Drey; taking its name from its animal world counterpart: the squirrels' nest called a drey. The layout remained similar to Pitcher's Park, with home plate staying in the NW corner and the right-field wall being the 12' high tennis court fence 85' away down the line and 100' in right-center. The outfield fence in left and center was redesigned, however. First, the distance down the line was pushed back to 93'. Whereas Pitcher's Park started silt-fence out perpendicularly from the left-field line, the Drey used a section of the 10' x 10' "Rodney" wall angled back at 45 degrees to push the distance to 98' just five feet off the line. The strange jut to 118' in deep left-center was removed, however the average distance over left and center fields increased from the previous layout: the left-center power alley now measured 108' and center-field 116'. The Drey's reimagination of "smallball fury in Death Valley" claimed many balls as routine fly deep flies that were sure home-runs in, or rather out of, nearly every other park.
