Nice..so you agree with me. Cool I am on a role... going to go pick a fight with DW to see if my luck continues.

I am 0 for a million with DW so I need more than an emoji...

Do softball fields have currently a maximum fence distance?

I believe Pattar is a professor of physics or engineering.

So, I think he would agree that ball hit at angle > 45 degrees is a popup and should only be a ground rule double if it clears the fences.

However, to reward power, I think he would agree that balls over the fence at lower angles should count for additional runs. So, a homer at 30 degrees would be +1 and a homer at 15 degrees would be +2.

When I used to watch DD, anything less 350 was too short.

There is a time and place for math, possibly determining the outcome of a softball game probably isn’t one of them....

How many college pitchers were injured?

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

I don't see how the number of injured pitchers has any bearing on the fact that bats were deadened to protect pitchers. I guess there was at least one injury.

In MLB fences are maxed out a bit over 400 feet and max HR distances probably around 500 ft. Assume that max HR distance in college softball is 300 ft and work backwards to get a reasonable distance.
