How about this. If you're worried about it not looking like legit baseball, then move the fences in a little and make the move to the same balls as the bigs and wooden bats. College baseball has reached the point where the "wooden bats are too expensive" argument no longer works.

Indiana average 9.6 runs a game, beat Florida State by crushing the ball all over the park, and they just got complete game shut out by Oregon State's number 3 pitcher.

6 runs in 3 games.

It isn't even close to that point yet, imo. There are over 200 Division I baseball teams, and some of the major conferences haven't even fully embraced and invested in the sport yet.

This is a Minor League park. The NCAA can't move the walls in because its too big for college. And yes, wooden bats are too expensive. Schools like LSU could handle if fine. But smaller schools like USL couldn't. They either need to go back to the old bats or change the ball. Though honestly I'm not sure much I believe the new ball will change things.
