They should move back college fences

I’m glad that University of Kentucky not only has a super nice field but also and adjacent 10,000 sq foot indoor facility along with a separate locker room facility.

Best facility I have been to!

It didn't help that most of the umps had ridiculously tight strikezones. Same thing last year in Clearwater too.

The universities saying they don't have space is laughable.

Growing up the only the sport my school had on campus was wrestling...football, baseball, softball, basketball all off campus. If you want to make it work - you make it work.

Was it the umps or the very stupid NCAA strike zone?

Conspiracy theorists say it was being directed by ESPN but who knows.

I don’t want to see a home run derby like we have in Major League Baseball. I like the strategy in playing small ball and seeing bases being stolen.

Why what is it about home runs that would suggest we need fewer of them. I'm sure there are people that would like to see them outlaw slapping.

Not necessarily for the fewer home runs but make to make the outfield bigger. Outfielders are fast and sometimes it looks like gaps are non existent.
I ended up sketching it up. At 200’ a ball with 2.7-2.8s hang time a gap 10’ at its narrowest point, at 220’ it will be closer to 20’.

I think we should have 220’ at a min and maybe consider 230’.

Raise the fence height.

Still salvageable... Look at this efficient use of resources....

You're giving me hope. With Oklahoma and Texas headed to the SEC, the Big 12 will be pretty low on teams, and a big drop in overall level of play.

Homeruns are fun to watch. More fans like watching home runs so the game grows. Just like a defensive 3-0 ground game in football the purists that love the game love it, for the casual fan it’s a yawn and channel flip. Home runs are good for the growth of the game.
