I can't stand this type of baseball. The UCLA game was atrocious. A pitcher throwing the ball that high over the middle of the plate should be punished.

The new bats/ball park combo is just as bad as what the bats in the 90s did but this time in the pitchers favor. You pretty much take away the element of the long ball and everything is an advantage to the pitcher. Huge foul territory, deep in the alleys/center, and positioned to where the wind blows in. I mean come on NCAA, yall went a little too far. I just imagine the guy who spearheaded this moment having flashbacks of when he was a pitcher getting rocked and vowing to himself to one day change the dynamic of college baseball from offensive to pitching oriented.

This is probably true.

College Baseball used to be ridiculous. Slap-dick HR Derby. It might look fun but it becomes just as boring and tiresome unless you're 12 years old and easily impressed and live to watch basketball dunk highlights on ESPN.

They need to find a good balance...wish the sport had money for everyone to use wood bats.

But there's always going to be controversy with tinkering with the metal bats and the ball.
