FWIW, more HRs hit per game in baseball than softball.**

Need to mandate bats that are not as hot. Much cheaper than expanding field

They're hitting a .47 COR, 375 compression ball.

Yep. Girls are hitting 250'+ bombs now.**

Switch to wooden bats?**
UpperQuad • 05/19/24 06:34 PM ET
Never happen. I loved the feel of hitting the sweet spot with wood.**

Would softball be more interesting with larger fields, e.g., 250 to center?

Or fences as high as UCLA’s. I am curious as to the story behind that.
HolidayInnHokie • 05/19/24 06:49 PM ET
UCLA Left and Right is 190 feet. So they compensated with higher walls.**

Here is the NCAA rule on field dimensions
VTChip • 05/19/24 09:19 PM ET
Good info, thanks Chip. So I guess the rules are not hard and fast

They have netting above and there’s a major road not far behind those trees**
hokiepro • 05/19/24 08:38 PM ET
In general, I know the fence has to be higher when the distance is

It's the powder blue monster.**
