[OC] I measured the specs of every Idaho high school home baseball field. Here is Part One of what are, in my opinion, some of the weirdest fields you can play on in an Idaho high school baseball game.

  1. Hello everyone,

    I am currently plotting, measuring, and visualizing every single high school baseball field in the United States. I currently have all of the data for Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia (working on Maryland, South Carolina and Pennsylvania).

    [Here’s the link to a Google doc I made with the links to all previous states and infographics (now including BlueSky links for some), along with my store where you can buy posters for certain states.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HlGoy2qUAue79Qx7VQNWOzjouPO17Jt4NJVhP5PQT-s/edit?usp=sharing)

  2. Why couldn’t Wilder go straight across with the fence? Also why tf do they have a light pole in the middle of center field? Lol

  3. I love high school logos that are just recolored pro team logos

  4. The light pole installed *after* the field was built is incredibly funny. Who signed off on that?!

  6. The dimensions of Melba Field are insane. I’ve never seen a RF that was shallower than CF. Also, it’s hilarious that you are rewarded for a hard pull to left, but punished if it’s just a soft pull since LCF is by far the deepest part.

  9. It seems like the larger the number for “outfield variability”, the further from the outline you used it is. Is this the case or is this a case of “correlation, not causation”?

  10. False advertising – if you try they’ll say “who is that 30 year old who can’t throw” and kick you out
