I understand where this player is coming from, but it's simply not an option. If local rules want to supersede this, that's their right, but regular ASA rules do not allow it.
It don't believe this to be an issue of whether or not a 21-year-old woman can hit a 12" ball. This has more to do with making the men and women's batted balls act more similar to each other.

Didn't Crystl Bustos hit one over the men's fence in Hall of Fame Stadium?

I don't think the difference is as great as everyone thinks.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Let's see, Crystyl Bustos, typical co-rec female. Yup, looks like a match!
