Size of field

Seems to me girls are outgrowing field particularly bases and fences

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.
WVHokie84 • 05/19/24 11:39 PM ET
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
HolidayInnHokie • 05/19/24 09:36 PM ET
They have netting above and there’s a major road not far behind those trees**

In general, I know the fence has to be higher when the distance is
dallasvt • 05/19/24 07:03 PM ET
It's the powder blue monster.**
NC_Hokies • 05/19/24 06:50 PM ET
Nah. Makes it fun. Still seeing some 1-0 & 2-1 games along with offensive
