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

HS HR's are hugely effected by field layout.  Our park is big and prevailing winds blow left to right.  We rarely see more than three a year by both teams combined.  There are a few parks in our area with shorter fences and different wind conditions and the same teams will combine for 10-15 per year.  There are a few small schools in the region with no fences and the result is that very average players pile up some HR's.

BTW, a college summer team also played at our park for a few years recently.  They played later in the eve when winds die down.  Combine that with the older, better, stronger players and it was fun to see quite different results.
