Isn't using different balls and the old bats basically admitting there is a problem with the current equipment. Wouldn't want one home run to win a home run derby. That wouldn't be any fun for the fans. Maybe they could just have a bunt off

Major league baseball is now the "boys's game" and college baseball is the "man's game"

major league wooden bat and low seem baseball is more lively than college ping bat and high seem baseball

Not when the changes were made for safety. Unless they start giving the pitcher a screen in games, the NCAA can hide behind that excuse.

I actually get to watch homeruns that go over the fence instead of homeruns that fall short all night

not saying I don't think there is a problem, but MLB uses different balls for HR derby also
