re: Does it make you feel any better to know

It doesn't make me feel any better or worse.
What makes me feel worse is that I'm forming a conclusion that college baseball has evolved into a game that is greatly dissimilar to minor and major league professional baseball. This dissimilarity will operate to draw fewer talented high school baseball players into the college ranks.
If a talented high schooler has any opportunity to go play minor league ball, even at the lowest levels, the incentive to choose college baseball instead has been entirely removed, because the college game is vastly different, due to the dead bats and different ball structure.
I'm not sure that any of this will serve to enhance the popularity of college baseball.

Huh? How is the current college game dissimilar due to the bats and ball structure? If anything the college game now with the bats and ball change is more comparable to low minor leagues.. High school players use the same bats as college guys they know exactly what the college game is. The choice to attend college or sign professionally has very little to do with that.. IMO
