Trinity has new baseball field nearing completion. It looks to be very nice. Twitter Link has pictures of it.

I believe it will also be used by St. Matthews little league, since on their property. Partnership between the two.

Images I saw look like all turf except the pitcher's mound. The all turf baseball field seems to be catching on. The first one I saw was the Florence Freedom minor league field. Beechwood now has all turf baseball (including the pitcher's mound). What other schools have gone all turf for baseball?

Off Shelbyville Road, across from St. Matthew's Mall, behind that shopping center.

You are correct. I've been to the Cal Ripkin complex in Myrtle Beach and the same is true. It can spoil your infielders.
