Century High School is a part of the Pacific Conference. The Pacific Conference features a mix of expansive outfields, sharp corner angles, and mostly natural grass fields. It rewards teams who play clean baseball, communicate effectively, and understand situational nuance. While there’s no extreme outlier park like Jesuit in the Metro, each field presents its own quirks—whether it’s Century’s deep backstop or Sherwood’s cavernous CF.
Field Location: 2000 SE Century Blvd, Hillsboro, OR 97123
Left Field 309 ft.
Right Field 332 ft.
Center Field 350 ft.
Backstop 54 ft.
Strategy: Beware the Backstop
- Largest backstop in the conference—missed pitches turn into free 90s fast.
- LF is short—righty pull hitters must be shaded and pitchers should avoid leaving pitches inside.
- Defensive communication between C, P, and MIF is essential on passed balls and bunts.
- RF is deeper—watch lefties with warning track power.
Offensive Game Plan
- Encourage righties to turn on the ball and drive it into short LF.
- Leverage the deep backstop with aggressive steals, delayed steals, and hit-and-run plays.
- Alert baserunners should anticipate overthrows and advance on every bobble.
