Last year our Varsity hit 11 HRs. One kid had 4, one had 3, 4 others had 1 a piece. The kid who hit the 4 all were legit 380+ power alley HRs. The others were pulled wall scrapers 330+ over the LF corner. We play on what would be a normal sized field for Varsity teams around here. 330 LF, 370 Gaps, 390 CF, 330 RF. I wonder how many we could have hit if LF was 310-325? Last was spring was also freezing cold until close to June so I am sure that hurt the power numbers a bit.

At the HS level of physical development a lot of HS hitters can pull a HR now and then but it takes a real good hitter to hit them semi straight away.
