I actually agree with moving in the CWS fences.

Can't remember which one, but one of the ESPN talking heads made the comment that if a pitcher makes a mistake, there should be a penalty. Currently, a pitcher's mistake usually leads to a long out at the warning track. Makes sense to me.

Its perverse, but the bigger mistake the pitch you make is, the more likely it will be to be an out.

Just need to go to the major league ball and things should be fine.

The bats appear to be about right.

I'd try an adjustment to the ball first. The demensions are the same as Rosenblatt.

Major league ball and wooden bats. Same everything as the pros. I have NEVER seen a team pitch intentional 89mph high fastballs over and over and get rewarded for it. Any pitcher does that at the next level is going to be serving up extra base hits on a platter.

What was the average wind speed & direction the first 2 years at TD ameritrade?? 20 mph wind blowing straight in from center will kill home runs on any field and has to be factored in.

I am OK with any changes to the bats and/or balls that simulate professional power stats as much as possible. MLB teams average around 1 HR per game per team. NCAA across all teams and all ballparks the average is around 0.5 HR per game per team. Something needs to be tweaked to get that number up, Id start with the baseball and see if that helps. That 1 HR per team stat though should be the goal for college baseball, gotta look at the big picture and not just one ballpark
