Reply to "High School Turf Fields"

Here in MN it is getting more common, but by no means common. HS has put in turf practice fields.

Good hands son despises it. Feels it dumbs down fielding. It's also damn hot. You can feel the heat radiating off the surface, unlike grass. 

My son loved turf because he was fast. The first time (14u) he played on turf (baselines too) it was wet. We were playing MLB rules. Breaking up two both he and the shortstop ended up in left field. I (coach) had to convince the umpires it was ignorance of sliding on wet turf not a cheap shot. Being tossed was rescinded.
