At 335 feet down both lines, 375 to the gaps and 408 to center, TD Ameritrade is slightly bigger than 21 major-league parks and about the same as six.
Yeah, I realize that, but it's also irrelevant to compare it to the size of major league parks.
It is only 5 feet bigger than Alex Box and no one is crying about how huge LSU is and how it's ruining the college game.
I will say that the wind conditions at TD Ameritrade are bad and the ball has absolutely no carry to it, but that's hard to determine when building it. Rosenblatt had plenty of carry to it.
Changing the ball would make an enormous difference in offensive production.

Those five feet mean difference between a home run and shot to the warning track. I don't want a home run derby but at the same time the home run is part of the game don't take it out.
I don't like the NCAA mentioning MLB and college baseball together they are two different games played by two different types of players. If a majority of guys were big leauge caliber it would be fine with it but they aren't. They aren't big leaguers so don't act like they have the same skills.
