He is quoted as saying that, in his opinion, the new ball next yr won't have that much effect & he has plans on his desk to bring in the fences of The Box but won't do so until the fences in Omaha are brought in as well.FWIW, Skip said basically the same thing last mth, i.e. the new balls won't make that much of a difference and the fences in Omaha are not fit for college baseball.

There are a few issues here.
First, no one expects the ball to bring back 2009-type numbers. But it will have an effect in that pitchers won't be as effective.
Second, college baseball has different types of hitters and pitchers compared to just 5 years ago. What has happened is that scouts have adjusted and are pulling more of the best hitters from high school since that has become much easier to evaluate. Pitching is just the opposite. It's tougher for scouts and some of the best HS pitchers are ending up in college. So not only is the equipment forcing things one way, the talent on the field is also.

He also said he wants the NCAA to approve using the major league ball with the livelier core.

With the speed of our outfield, if they bring the fences in, no fly ball will ever find grass.

So, our pop outs to the infield will make it to the outfield?
