I haven’t played since high school and don’t remember how far some people could hit it.
Can people hit it out of a softball field?

I think the cabbage ball would be destroyed if it were hit hard enough to go out of a softball field.

350'

Physics says no. But half the OT will say they’ve done it.

About 600 yards using a 30/06.

Be lucky to hit out of MLB infield. No one I ever knew hit one over 200ft.

Back in high school, we'd play home run derby with cabbage balls. The soft kind that we'd beaten to hell already. We'd use 2nd base as home plate and hit towards the home plate backstop fence.
So, over that at least.
ETA: I have one now I've never hit, but it's not the same. Made by Worth. It's sort of harder and clearly doesn't have the same core the old ones did. This one feels like foam, and I bet could go a LONG way. It would bounce off a bat, where as the old ones just compressed when they got hit. The old ones were filled with string and weren't all that tightly wrapped. We used to beat the covers off them and I'd sew the stiches back up using fishing line. Those were like hitting a bath towel.

I haven't hit a cabbage ball since 8th grade. I have no idea how far I could hit one now.

Depends. Brand new out the box cabbage ball yes. Old soft as shite cabbage ball probably not
