Homers In 10U

[Indiansummer11]

How rare are over the fence homeruns in 10u? I saw an 07 girl hit a bomb this past weekend. 180ft or more.

If she is looking for a team for next year, please have her text me - Ohio Thunder 007!!!! Hehehehehehehe

That is awesome, I was watching game on other field when a 10U player hit one over 200' fence at Cincy Metro this weekend.
Unfortunately not many fields we play on are set at 180, or we would have close to 10 so far this summer........

FWIW, I see less in 12u than I did in 10u.

We had three girls hit bombs this weekend at the 10U Laser tournament. The Laser people said they were about 180' fences. That was the perfect distance for a 10U tournament. It takes a very good hit to get it over the fence, but hard line drives to the fence don't turn into triples and HR's because they roll forever. I wish all the 10U fences were set up at that type of distance. It makes it a better, and more competitive 10U division.

 

[wow]

all depends on fields. 180-190 fences its common. 200-220 that's much more rare, although I have seen it.

I would agree that I saw more in 10 than 12.

Remember that shot like it was yesterday!

My little girl smashed one over the fence at the laser tournament her first it was sweet to see

Sure is and that first one will always be the one I remember the most the look on the face and the big hug she wanted from the coach after was just as special...

I think this is due to the fact when they get to 12u they start thinking too much instead of having fun!

Thanks for all the information. It was my daughters first over the fence homerun. Hopefully many more next year as she finishes up her last year of 10u.

I wish all 10 fences were set at 160--175. I agree it stops the endless roll in the outfield and in the park HR that really should be a double or triple. It would make a little more work for the TD's but I would be willing. The Mogadore qualifier does just this. Every year I have been to Mogadore there is always 1 girl that tattoos 1 or 2 for the weekend. It is awesome to see those girls get so excited.
