Honestly the % increases probably arent statistically significant. There are so many other things that could affect those numbers by those small percentages...

Runs up 5%... Maybe there were more games played in the south this year where it was warmer.

Batting average up 0.37%... Really? That is nothing. Zero significance.

The 39% homeruns is the only significant number, but is it really? Weren't homeruns down to like .5 per game? So congrats on the .7 homeruns per game now! Super improvement.

LSU fans act like the balls are so much better because our batters are much better. That's the only reason.

Personally I think they still need to go back to the bats of a few years ago.

You use small numbers to prove a point... good job.

Let's use big numbers as an example then... say it goes 1000 HRs to 1390 HRs.

See what I did there?

The bat change was made under the guise of player safety. They will never change back.

SOS makes a valid point when we are looking just at LSU HR stats.

Through 28 games in 2014, ULaLa had 32 home runs. So if the "better" ball was the only factor they would have a lot more homers too, right?

ULaLa HRs this year through 28 games = 15.
