I like it. You can come right at the batters.

A huge park gives an advantage to good pitching and base hitting teams.

What point are you trying to make? Hopefully not the same one as the announcers have made 100 times so far today, that the fences need to be moved in.

They don't seem to realize that it doesn't change the game very much, bc neither team is getting an advantage.

Personally I love watching 2-1, 3-2 baseball games where pitchers and defense dominate and offenses have to depend on playing small ball to win.

Auburn's field looks like the freaking bastard step child of the bunch...

I like this comparison of all the baseball fields in the SEC. Didn't realize the box was that much bigger than all the other parks. Cool stuff!

UK you can tell why they stack their lineup with left handed hitters.

Never realized Vandy's park was an EXTREMELY friendly right hand hitter's park though.

I've been to Foley and it's not bad for a left handed hitter, either


Auburn's park though, wow...

Good post, I was just wondering this after hearing the discussion about moving the fences in.

TD Ameritrade plays the same way the Hoover Met does.

What's with the random jut out in left field, Vandy?

Several of us at the game today were talking about Katz CF shot that was 402, fence at 405. It is a huge park and any smaller it would have yielded up to 4 HRs maybe with 2 for each team. The LF depth at the Auburn Field is ridiculously short.

I kind of like asymmetrical ball parks.

As far as moving the fences, I think they should just start using the pro ball. That could be the best of both worlds.
You still have too put a good swing on it with the current bats, but if you connect with a good swing,the ball will still carry.

It's pathetic that college hitters can't hit the ball out to straight away center since BBCOR bats have been standard issue.
