How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?

We were at the local ball field trying to play home run derby and no of us could get the ball over the 300 foot fence. Do we suck or does it take someone special to hit a ball that far? We all played baseball in high school so we aren’t total scrubs, but I was surprised that we couldn’t hit it out of this little park..

How often does the adult of average fitness and size in question swing the bat? Practice and technique have as much to do with going yard as being in shape. You can’t really say that a person in Size and Shape X should hit it this far, Size and Shape Y this far, and so on.
