Hitters at Citi Field will receive a boost of just over 8 feet from a segment of right field beginning next season.
The Post previously reported the Mets’ plan to bring in the fence for a new fan experience, but the scope was unclear. According to sources, the fence will be brought in roughly 8 feet, 6 inches in the nook space just to the right of the 370-foot sign in right center. That segment extends about 50 feet. There is presently ground-level seating in that space in front of the grandstand.
It will be a third alteration to the ballpark’s dimensions since it opened in 2009. The previous two occurred because of the difficulty of hitting homers at Citi Field. Jacob deGrom, Brandon Nimmo and Chris Bassitt were all extended qualifying offers worth $19.65 million for next season, meaning the Mets will receive draft-pick compensation if any sign with another team. Taijuan Walker did not receive a qualifying offer.
