Something has gotta happen the ball is just dialed down to much. Hopefully this will happen. I bet Katz would be closer to 28 home runs or more if this idea(mlb ball) where in effect.

so, what I gathered from that was...let's get some new balls?

What's the summary for those of us that don't really want to watch the video?

GIVE US BALLS
Nice find. I already knew the current college seams help the break in the pitch, but I had no idea it brings more air resistance, therefore less distance

I dont think there's any question IF the NCAA will move to the MLB baseball, the question really is will it be next season or 2015. Simply put, home runs are too neutered right now.
Didn't realize such a small 0.5mm difference resulted in 25% more drag on the ball. That's a rather large difference.
I'm sure pitchers are against this and hitters are quite the opposite
This also brings college baseball "closer" to MLB baseball which seems to be what they're trying to do anyways. See what pitchers can do with an MLB baseball instead of a college baseball. Give hitters a chance to show proper power as well (considering the bats now have the same ball exit speed as wood).
