This is what is really needed, the snow is almost gone!

You guys laugh but I have some serious repairs that will need to be done to the batting cage before the boy can get in it this spring. That heavy wet snow took quite a few poles down.

Worst in the State: O'Dea hands down.

The new Lynnwood HS is really, REALLY bad.

my son played at the opening game for the new field at shorewood. very nice. backstop light standard is a little low making it hard to track a fly ball in the shallow infield but a vert nice facility

A lot of them are pretty sloppy right now. Son played tonight, several foul balls hit the ground and buried themselves.

Will be nice when the fields start to dry out.

Yes the new Lynnwood HS field is about as bad as someone could make a new field.

The two fields I've played at so far are both turf, but the first game of the year that we had was played in a monsoon and the umps kept the game going. The mound literally had no dirt left on it. Where you plant your foot into the mound compltetly submerged our pitcher's foot. The field was ok, but the mound there is probably ruined for the season (Bellevue HS).

I drove by the new Shorewood field, it looks to be one of the top 5 HS fields in WA just from looking at it. VERY deep to center though if I remember right, like 420 ft.???

Sure now that Mitsui is gone lets move the fences back LOL! Reminds me of Beamer in FW definitely a pitchers park look for Bower to have another good year not that he needs to worry about short porches.

Denny Field in West Seattle is pretty nice (Sealth HS home park). Turf infield, grass out, really tall light standards light well for late afternoon/evening games.

My son's program co-uses the field with Sealth. We get the dads and kids out for a work party to condition the field, rebuild mounds (including the bullpens), edge the grass along foul territory and along the warning track, and weed foul ground and the warning track in early March before HS tryouts every year.

Going over to Judkins this Friday to see O'Dea and Prep, weather permitting of course!

I'm 90% sure Judkins is under water haha
