That sucks! Hate the fake fields with no dirt tracks.
Yes
But that guy was running like there was no wall at all.

It's called a warning track for a reason. Hopefully, after that he learns the reason.

The problem is that there is no "warning" part on these fields. It's not a different surface, just a different color.
exactly. It doesn't feel any different.96ags said:AgsGiveUsRoom said:

Yes, that could be true if it is an older turf field. However, most newer turf fields have an artificial warning tract called Safeshell for player safety. It provides an audibly cue with a unique texture so players will hear it underfoot as soon as they make contact with the the warning track. It also has a distinctive underfoot fill that the outfielder will/should recognize.
With that said, the way this kid rammed into the wall and it being a high school artificial field, you are probably correct.
Also, baseball should be played on grass and real dirt.

I don't know that about the Safeshell.
What a great improvement
Howdy, makes me glad my Grandson is a pitcher!

Bump Bailey and Rodney McCray type hit. Looked like the kid put dents in the wall structure. Hope he was ok.
