Newberg 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.

Strategy: Fast Turf, Tight Window
- Short backstop gives catchers a chance to smother mistakes—less room for error by baserunners.
- Even dimensions put pressure on defenders to be precise—cutoff timing is critical.
- Pitchers should work efficiently—no part of the park clearly favors hitters or pitchers.
- OF must hold base runners to singles—limiting advancement is key.
Offensive Game Plan
- Run pressure becomes critical—bunts, steals, and hit-and-run force defenders to make quick decisions.
- Use line drives to split gaps, especially with fast runners at the top of the lineup.
- Look for high-contact, high-IQ at-bats to keep pressure on tight defensive spacing.
