I know some like the no attempt to avoid rule, but personally I hate it. Hated it when NCAA instituted it, hate it even more after FED went to it. Pitcher throwing 60, 65+, sure give thebatter the benefit of the doubt. But watching college players stand there and take a 40 mph changeup in the foot without so much as a flinch is ridiculous.

And I have no idea why FED followed. They allow the pitcher to step back because they seem to understand the level of pitching in school ball is not at the same level as club ball, yet they institute a rule where the batters are purposely crowding the plate and the weaker pitchers are scared to death to throw on the inside corner for fear of hitting the batter.
