New MSU Baseball rightfield dimension is 305'.......

[leeinator]

.....sounds like a lot of HRs will be in that area this year. Guess John had it designed similar to his old KY right field fence. I remember hitting a 310' HR in Little League when I was about 12 years old. Better bring your gloves if you sit out in the RF bleachers!!

Cann already improving run production.

Keep in mind there is also a 17' wall down the right field line. By the time that rounds over to the normal fence, I'd imagine the dimension is in the 320' to 325' range.

Can we cover it with fabric and give our right fielder velcro shoes and gloves?

The only part of RF that would be that short would be right along the foul line where the wall sticks out. But there is probably no more than around 5 feet of wall (width wise) that bleeds over into fair territory from the looks of it. It will definitely make it an adventure for the Right Fielder.

That funky wall should prove to be in our favor, as our guys will know it a lot better over time. Visitors won't have that luxury.

I'm sure it will bite-us-in-the-*** once-in-a-while, but I suspect not nearly as often as it does the other team. Almost seems unfair.

Asymmetrical parks give the home team a huge advantage. Consider that each SEC team will visit a maximum of twice in four years, unless we host them in postseason play. Hard for even a four year visiting starter to get comfortable with that wall... Love it.

I know this has been discussed but I never saw a definitive answer. Is that foul pole in right field going to be any taller than what is there now? That doesn’t seem right and we will get screwed by an umpire multiple times if it is that short.

Screwed multiple times if that short...that's not what she said.
