Yeah that field is definitely a regulation softball field that needs to be drug.
You can easily google her Sports Recruits page and see some game time HR's. One video has over 4700 views. It's a monster shot! According to the article, sounds like she is/was committed to A&M, but opened up her recruitment since her scholarship dollars were being reduced due to the extra year of player eligibility. I am pretty sure that will be case at every school. Someone will pick her up.
How can you tell it's a regulation field?
I think this young lady has a great looking swing. I'm sure she hits a lot of big HR's. But, as someone who routinely would get sent "videos" and recruitment clips to look at I know 1 thing for certain: we only get to see the highlights portion of the video. I'm exaggerating now but, you'll get my point, for all I know she swung and missed at the next 5 pitches. This is why recruiting videos always made me chuckle, I'd see the HR she hit or the final pitch of all 12 strike outs (but none of the other pitches or know she K'd the other 3 times at bat). I'd have much rather seen how the pitcher reacts after giving up her HR (temperament, composure, etc). Then see what her next pitch is like, so I can see how quickly she regathers herself. Or if the next girl got hit in the ribs from the previous home run.
Anyway, I'm not trolling on this gal. She looks great. I am just saying I'm usually a little skeptical of videos that are edited.
