This will only help college baseball get more respect from people out there who aren't fans yet
I would have to disagree. I don't think less homeruns will bring non-fans or casual fans to college baseball.

Even worse, they have now required the High Schools in Alabama to go to BBCOR bats next season, and I received an email from Dixie Youth Baseball last week stating they would no longer allow composite barrel bats on DYB play. Evidently there was such an uproar DYB came back 3 days later and retracted the ban on composite barrel bats for this season and will re-evaluate it for 2012. The $300 Easton Surge I bought my son to use this season in preparation for trying out for the HS Freshman team next year will not be allowed when he has the opportunity next year.
I have no problem if the governing bodies want to increase safety and use the BBCOR rating system, but the evaluation and adoption process from DYB all the way to college has been a train wreck. They need to decide, and give a 12-24 month phase in period so everyone can understand and plan for it.

this. for baseball "purists" and pitcher safety this change is prudent and with purpose. I doubt seriously that less dingers, big innings and total run production will become a stimulant for the growth of college baseball. as much as some people demonize "the steroid era"...the excitement (right or wrong) created by McGuire, Sosa, Bonds, Canseco, and many others (college included) helped to resurrect and build the game of baseball. not saying it's right....just saying it is.
