Whitaker Bank Ballpark
Ground Rules
1) Balls hitting in front of a dugout or hitting the lip of a dugout are live balls.
2) Balls entering a dugout or camera wells are dead balls.
3) Bullpens are foul territory. All foul ball rules apply. Any live ball that enters the bullpen remains live unless it becomes lodged in and/or under a bench, tarp or other obstruction, resulting in a dead ball.
4) Balls that clear the outfield wall are home runs. NOTE: The chain-link fencing in left field is beyond the outfield wall, so balls hitting it are home runs. However, the railing in right field is below the yellow stripe, so balls hitting that railing are in play. Any ball that hits below the yellow stripe in right field and becomes lodged or disappears behind the wall will be a ground rule double.
5) Balls hitting the scoreboard/video boards are home runs. However, the Lexington Clinic K-meter, located in left field and Big L, located in right-center field, are considered in play, and any ball hitting them is a live ball.
6) The Crush Zone, located in left-center field, is outside the field of play, and any balls hitting it are home runs.
7) Balls hitting the foul poles above the wall are home runs.
8) Wall heights vary:
a. Left to left-center – eight feet
b. Center to right – 16 feet
c. Small 4-foot section in right field – 14 feet
9) Field dimensions are:
a. Left – 320
b. Center – 401
c. Right – 318
10) Batboys will be in the dugouts on each side of the field.
