2009 is when they started making changes to the bat and ball.

So there is some effect and in the past 10 years more draftees are signing with college programs.

They had to do something after 97 though, we were killing people with Slugger -7's. We led the country in HR per game or total, it was one of the two and our guys just hit bombs everywhere.

I know in 99 they took it to only -3. People think HR just went down but it has been down for a while and now starting to make comeback doe to changing the seams.

explain to me why homerun numbers used to go up at the CWS compared to the regular season but now they go down and significantly? Explain to me why teams were 21-0 when scoring 5 runs or more through the year 2013. It's not that pitchers are that good. That's a total cop out and completely disingenuous. Teams completely change their approach at TDA. They all revert to small ball and shortening up their swings. Coaches know this and players know this. It's not a secret, and I really don't know why you're trying to refute it. Just go read through the tweets, right now, of college baseball analysts. TDA has all but removed home runs from the game of baseball played at the CWS.

no one denies this, but homeruns decrease in half at the CWS, effectively making them obsolete. That's not baseball
