About CWU Baseball Field
The Central Washington University Baseball Field has served as the home of Wildcat baseball since the late 1960s. The facility, which accommodates 500 spectators, features a Kentucky Bluegrass playing surface throughout, complemented by a crushed red cinder infield.
The ballpark’s dimensions present a challenge for hitters with its symmetrical layout, measuring 324 feet down the left field line and 326 feet to right field, while expanding to 374 and 376 feet in the power alleys. The center field fence stands 412 feet from home plate, with a uniform 8-foot fence height enclosing the field. Significant renovations have maintained the facility’s modern standards, including a 1985 update that brought a new infield and expanded bleacher seating. In 2019, additional improvements were added that introduced an enhanced backstop netting system, protective padding, and additional spectator seating.
