love to see the good hitters hit which leads to good defensive plays--more high fives.

Good hitters still hit. Good hitters can hit with anything you put in their hands. Ralph Rhymes would of hit base hits up the middle with a stick and bottle caps. What the new bats and balls took out was the mediocre hitters with some pop in their bat. People talk about Papierski on this board a lot. Think about how many balls he has hit to the warning track. Those are home runs with the old bats. He would be considered a decent to good hitter if some of those balls went over the fence.

It is similar to basketball changing the three point line. Pure shooters can make a three no matter where you put that line but inconsistent shooters would struggle with just that minor change.
