What is the average distance from home plate to home run wall?

Answer 1

That depends on the stadium. Major League Baseball does have minimums however. The closest the fences can be is "a distance of no less than 250 feet." - Major League Baseball rule book Sec. 6.09 (d).

Answer 2

Just 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.

Answer 3

MLB 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.
