Mine also.
He's only given up one so far, as a junior on a HS field during a PG tournament. That one's still in orbit, though. I should look that guy up and see when he was drafted, he was a monster.
If he gives up one on his home field in college, it won't count by the criteria here. Not even 300 down the lines and like 320 or 340 or something to dead center, though "green monster" fence all around. Hitting a triple there is what impresses people. I thought he actually had given up one last year (watched game on crappy video feed), but it must have been off that fence, since it doesn't show up in the stats.
I thought most colleges were more like mlb fields. The hs my son will go to is 325 down the sides and 400 to cf
Most are. But this shocked me for a SEC field. Shively Field at Hagen Stadium at University of Kentucky until 2018 ...
Left Field: 340 feet
Left Center: 365 feet
