I umpired a fall game at Tulane, and they hit 2 homeruns to opposite field using the new bats.. they are a little bit softer, but it doesn't make a difference.. still have to hit a round ball with a round bat square..LOL

Do the new bats have a different sound to them?

Something has to improve the college game...the high scoring, slow-pitch softball style of baseball...is not for me that's for sure.

One D-I school around here has been in intrasquad games for three weeks and has hit zero homers. They've also played two scrimmages in which no runs were scored.

The batters uniformly hate them and the pitchers are delighted with them. They use Easton, by the way. College ball is back to being something of a pitcher's game. That's the way it should be. The added safety is a huge plus.
