Just curious why are the fences going to be 225, I believe most colleges are 190 to 210....I would think very few girls will be able to hit one out 225..

I'll explain. Back in the old days when we rolled in to a field and the fences were far or the wind was blowing in 40 mph, thats what we would say referring to hitting a homerun. As we entered Shelby County's field last year, my daughter looked at their long fences and said I doubt I can hit one outta here. I said you gotta hit em to get em, and she new what it meant. Yes 200 ft would have been better.

Have to hit it a ton to get one out of there for sure.

High School regulations say fences need to be 185 to 225. We don't wnat games to0 be decided by home runs so we will be at maximum but regulation

Sounds like maybe you don't have any players that can hit home runs so you moved it back further so it would be harder for those who can.

Ok, after more thought I would be willing to bet the avg HS player hits on avg less than 1 out of the park homer a season. So why the thought process of not wanting games decided by HR's?
