Our team hit 14 in 23 games. Only two starters did not hit one. Our field dimensions:

325' down left

335' to right

375' to the gaps and 

365' to center

the altitude changes everything. I played ball in Arora Co right outside of Denver once and have never seen balls hit that far...same applies to golf in the area. love hitting a pitching wedge 150 plus.

my sons Varsity team last year led league in Homeruns, total of 12, one kid had 7, one had 4 and one had 1...the 7 and 4 totals were #1 and #2 in the league. those 2 kids were both kind of special hitters that not every team has.

We're in Colorado, but down in the southeast corner near the Oklahoma panhandle and Kansas border. It's all flat, farming country. Elevation here is about 2,000 feet, same as Texas panhandle or Western Kansas. The problem I used to have when I coached out of Denver was when we'd hit the road my outfielders would have problem tracking balls. They'd head deep on short flys because they would judge it to carry farther.
