Reply to "What % of high school baseball players can hit home runs?"

I’ve always been an advocate of having the levels of baseball below MLB make whatever reasonable adjustments they can to match the PAs per HR as the ML. MLB has spent billions on research to find out what fans of the game want. This past season there were 6,105 HRs in 185,295 PAs. That works out to about 1 HR every 30 PAs.

 That would mean about 2 HRs per HSV game, and they’d still be hitting them at a reduced clip from MLB. The only way I can see that improving much is shortening the fence distances. My guess is, distances of 280’ down the lines, 310’ in the power alleys, and 350’ in dead center would improve the ratio quite a bit but still leave them short of the MLB standard.
