McMinnville 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: Play Clean, Stay Alert
- Generous alleys make for a true hitter’s park—OF must back up plays and take smart routes.
- Corners play deep; 3B/1B must be aware of extra base chances on foul ground plays.
- Pitchers should live low in the zone and keep hitters off-balance.
- Backstop distance allows for moderate aggressive baserunning.
Offensive Game Plan
- Power hitters should look to split the gaps—long alleys reward well-struck balls.
- Balance small-ball with slugging potential; both approaches can succeed here.
- Be heads-up on dirt ball reads and secondary leads to pressure the defense.
