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 far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?How often does the adult of average fitness and size in question swing the bat?

I know for a fact that i could hit a ball well over 300 feet, so maybe you guys do just suck.
