Texas Baseball Begins Reconstructing Batter’s Eye

[CJ Vogel]

Six and a half months after a wicked storm wiped out the batter’s eye at Disch-Falk Field, construction is underway to mount the next iteration of the centerfield fence. 

Appears to be a much sturdier frame for the support of the batter’s eye.

Ready for some baseball. Was it regionals where the batter's eye got wiped out? I remember it happening too for the Kansas series in 2024

Yep, happened right before the regional series. May 29th was the day of the storm.

Is it a little shorter? Or is it just the angle?

Awaiting details from Texas.

Not sure how it will compare to the previous batter's eye.

Yes, here is the softball addition. 

Not sure how recently you are referencing for a baseball addition.

Wanted to add some notes to this –

 

The new batter's eye wall will be 32 feet tall, a 4-foot increase from the old batter's eye. Construction, obviously is expected to be completed before the beginning of the season.

Texas is putting in new 50-foot tall foul poles as well.

Also, Texas is set to install a brand new fan section in right field similar to the YETI Yard in left-centerfield. Should have some new details on that soon.
