LSU Bayou Bombers will have a great weekend at tiny Plainsman Park

The dimensions of Auburns Plainnsman Park seem ridiculously small compared to other SEC parks. Crews, White, Jones, Beloso, Dugas, Thompson and company may all have multiple extra base hits this weekend.
LF is only 315’ from home plate with a 31’ high wall aka green monster. How many dents will LSU add to that wall as they stand on 2nd base with a double?
Then, the CF wall is only 385’, 20’ shorter than the Box. Can you say Crews missle?
Finally there’s RF, which is 331’ down the line and 360 in the alley. Tommy Tanks says hello.
Here are the dimensions of the entire park.
size
LF: 315 ft
LC: 385 ft
CF: 385 ft
RC: 360 ft
RF: 331 ft
Unless Aubies pitchers have a breakout weekend, our boys are gonna rake. LFG

That is the kind of field where we would play Homerun Derby when I was a teen.

I think these tiny parks in the SEC favor the less talented team. Better chance for something fluky to happen. LSU's homerun hitters don't exactly hit wall scrappers.

Storms around all weekend and a mostly South wind will push a lot of balls into the Tiger Terrace down 3B.

HRs maybe, but a smaller field (less ground to cover) would make doubles and triples far less likely.

Auburns facility is junk.

Maybe so, but Auburn leads the league with 90 doubles. LSU is tied for 5th with 86
A line drive to LF will bang off the monster and anybody with speed may be able to reach 2nd. A slower runner will obviously be held to a single.

So they have that wall 315 in LF.
They lead the league in double which makes sense but only have about 67 HR. It’s so close most warning track balls at our stadium would clear it.
Which I mean, RF is still only 360. It’s a small park.

You're right that our guys don't hit wall scrapers, but when they aren't hitting homers, they come real close, a lot more often than probably most teams do. Those really close one's would all be home runs at Auburn.
We have the most legitimate power of any team I've seen this season. Lot's of inflated numbers around the country with small parks and juiced balls, where as LSU, to your point, doesn't hit too many cheap one's.

Kind of crazy that 4 doubles is the difference between 1st & 7th

Trey Morgan will need to learn how to play with the mini Green Monster in left field.

Opponents have hit 89.
That wall is not just high but super close.
Theh just pull line drive left and hit the board.
That being said, they. Have a middling BA for a team that only has to pull a ball 315 feet for a double.

You already know Cade Beloslow will be staying at 1B. Jk, he only hits to RF

It’s usually a homer if jones makes contact with lift in fair territory at home. At auburn he will definitely hit one

The mods have shown me mercy and I’m radiating positivity. Jordan Thompson’s defense this year has been an all you can eat crow buffet and I love it.

Only if you learn to spell his name.

Tanks could kick the ball further

Almost every team in the SEC has a very HR friendly park. This could be a good weekend for our hitters.

Why would you want a baseball field like this??
