I'm confused. How is a fence that measures 204 feet from home plate only 190 some feet?

Bottom of fence is 190-195 But ball need to be hit farther to clear the top ( 204+)

If the top of a 10' fence is 204' from home, the bottom of the fence is approximately 203.66' from home. Sounds like normal softball field dimensions.

The bottom of the fence is placed at 190ft, but with the height of the fence it's only a 204 carry.

I am not a math guy, lol, took my golf range finder and top of the fence measured 204, was told they were placed at 190ft. I don't know how that figures

Either way it's really SHORT

Why do you care.....

Only gave her a couple pitches and one was in the parking lot, the other on the road.

Apparently your DD is hitting them 300 plus feet. I hope they move the cars and shut the road down when your DD is batting.

The math doesn't figure if your range finder is accurate.


Comocoach is correct if your range finder is accurate. Actually the exact measurement should be 203.7547545 feet from the plate to the bottom of the fence. LOL

Pythagorean Theorem says = a^2 + b^2 = c^2 therefore; 204^2 - 10^2 = 203.75'

Seems like the field is setup pretty normal for H.S. softball.

DD's home field is 190 down the lines with a 6' fence, she does not throw many riseballs.

I’d love to see a school like MIT use that for their OF signs.

NFHS recommendations are 185’-235’. Most HS fields are 200’, often 190’ down the line and about a 4’-5’ fence. It’s rare to see more than a 200’ fence in HS. Your field is about average, especially with the 10’ fence.
