McCarthy Field

McCarthy Field

  • Home field for the Jets' practices and games
  • Deemed by players as a “hitters park,” McCarthy Field has seen thousands of balls soar its walls
  • Dimensions of 330’ down the left field line and 315’ to the right field line
  • Standing 400 feet away, centerfield is the signature of McCarthy Field, a 30-foot wall, known to most as the “Green Monster”
  • Surrounded by a shale warning track, which circles the entire inner fence line
  • The Jets use professional-style clay for the mound and plate, with a shale/Turface mix for the infield surface
  • Nearby are four enclosed batting cages, an adjacent area for tee and soft-toss work, two portable mounds, as well as a bullpen consisting of three regulation length clay mounds
