quote:Right, except that the hr/game in the ncaa has never been remotely close to 1.7.
In the Majors they hit 1.7 homeruns per game. That is a reasonable expectation IMO for parks that are a lot smaller than MLB parks (on average).
The highest it's been since 1970 has been 1.06 and that was in the gorilla ball days of 1998. Early 90s and early to mid 2000s had rates around 0.7-0.8, which is where I think it needs to be.
Here's some trend stats for perspective. LINK

I am starting to feel bad about my position...
I tend to believe that college baseball would be better if it was more like pro ball (minus the 162 games...) but I hate when people try and tell me College Basketball needs to be more like the NBA... I love College baseball (way more than MLB) but I do feel like the NCAA is killing the momentum of gaining fans by not giving offenses more power.
I'd say the biggest problem in the sport is the absolute inability to hit homeruns at Omaha. If they fixed that, then I wouldn't have a problem with the bats/balls/etc, but with the way Omaha plays, something needs to change.
