Expand Just because the wall is at 398 feet doesn't mean the ball can clear the wall if it's hit at 398. Usually you need to hit it at least 7-8 feet further than that to clear the wall. That's unless you had a super high launch angle and the ball drops perfectly over the 398 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Tough loss to a team that has been playing very well, especially at home. Camden walls are a joke since they changed the dimensions.

That ball was unhittable, might as well take it. Our hitters have been undisciplined and impatient with men on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
