Division I teams entered April averaging one home run about every three games. In 2010 the average was about one per game.

After 32 home runs were hit in 16 games at the College World Series in Omaha in 2010, only nine were hit in 14 games in 2011 and 10 in 15 games in 2012.

The current bats are designed to perform like wooden bats.

The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee won't consider rules changes until July 2014, meaning it would be the 2015 season before a new ball could be put into play. At least until then, home runs will be at a premium.

Keilitz said the loudest complaints he hears are from the coaches who have a history of relying on big offensive numbers as opposed to pitching and defense.
