∙ 12y agoJust far enough to go over the outfield wall in fair territory, though a ball hit in such a way that it stays in the park, but cannot be fielded in time to stop the runner from making a complete round trip, is also a home run, called an "Inside-the-park" homer. The distance to the outfield wall varies from stadium to stadium. As a result, most teams, at least those with a GM with a brain, tailor their roster to take advantage of the ballpark; i.e. Teams with long outfield distances typically field a team with slap hitters and line drive hitters and play 'inside baseball,' like the KC Royals, and teams with shorter dimensions pack their line-ups with power hitters, like the Boston Red Sox. And, some teams build the team first and then change the outfield dimensions.

∙ 12y agoMLB doesn't regulate a maximum distance for outfield fences. MLB Rule 1.04 states in part ...
"Any Playing Field constructed by a professional club after June 1, 1958, shall provide a minimum distance of 325 feet from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on the right and left field foul lines, and a minimum distance of 400 feet to the center field fence."
There are no maximum distances listed in the rules, only minimum distances.

My understanding is that the height of the wall should be equivilant to the subtracted length of the regulation home run distance; hence, if your wall is placed 30' short of the standard home run wall distance from the appex of home plate, the home run line should be located 30' vertically on a wall at that location.
