Same roster % of scholarships as football and hoops

I want electronic strike zones, in some capacity.
I'd hate this. Part of the art of pitching is inching the ump's strikezone outward. When a pitcher hits the corners early in the game, it makes the ump more likely to give him a strike when maybe its a tad outside or inside. With an electronic ump, we would lose that.

Too bad they can't go to wooden bats. I understand why they can't.

quote:You can be outside and approach the bag in the baseline. You cant be inside the line for the entirety of your path, blocking the play, and angle out at the last minute. It has been a rule for forever. It is a great part about baseball. You can push it a bit. You are probably out anyway, so make the ump call it.
The stupid rule about being outside the baseline when running to 1st base and the bag being on the inside of fair territory needs to change.

Hate this take, so you want a variable zone from ump to ump? How about each ump gets to decide how far they prefer from base to base as well?

I support the idea of doubling the regionals to 32 with #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3 being best of 3. Every conference plays 3 game series all season long. Continue that with postseason play and you bring tournament baseball to 2x the sites by doubling the regional sites.
My biggest issue has always been the scholarship issue with the absurdity of softball having more than baseball. But, I think NIL will take care of that. I'd just have the administration steer all of the NIL money to baseball rather than softball since softball players already receive more $$$ than they deserve or need anyway.

Anyone that disagrees has no clue about baseball. Maybe not anymore since the BS rule came into effect but you are literally taught within reason to get in the line of the throw in those situations.

quote:100% this. I don't know the origin of "11.7 scholarships," but it's anachronistic.
NIL may trump this, but full scholarships.
Does any other college sport operate that way?
What is the rationale for keeping that limit?

I agree. Making things even more expensive and simultaneously more dangerous, but also reducing the entertainment value is definitely the direction they should go.

My son plays just a handful of wood tourneys, there is a broken bat or four every weekend. And those good wooden bats dont come cheap.

I really hate the "shift" of the infielders in college baseball.
Hasn't the MLB outlawed it?

Okay, take a look at the first base line. The line on the right before the bag is the “out of play” line. You step out of that to avoid a tag and you’re automatically out.
The quickest way from point A to B is a straight line. A right handed batter will naturally be running inside the foul line in fair territory when they leave the batter’s box. I played baseball from T-ball through high school and I can’t ever remember even looking down at the foul line to first base to see if I was in bounds. You’re looking at the bag and trying to get to it as fast as possible. It’s totally unreasonable to ask a right handed batter trying to beat out an infield single to adjust his path slightly to the right just before the bag to be in foul territory, and then touch the bag in fair territory. How are you supposed to touch the bag with your right foot in that situation?

If you don’t like the shift, learn to hit the damn ball to the opposite field. You notice they don’t shift on Crews because he hits the ball all over the field.

He wasn’t just left, he ran in the infield grass 3/4 of the way down the line
