Park factors are post facto based on actual results. Not sure what you think it should be other wise. In other words a park that allows 15% more HR for RHB would have a HR PF for RHB of 1.15. Distance and wall height are inconsequential.

Did I misunderstand what you said?

One important point is that park factors should always be one season before the the year played. The PF for 2019 won't be available until the end of the season.
