Is it just me or are there far fewer slappers on D1 teams than there were 10-15 years ago? If so, why?

that might be called a smackI saw a girl from USF slap one off the fence vs Oklahoma State earlier this year for a base-clearing triple. Now that is how to slap.
That same slapper had a nice hard slap right between the pitcher and 2nd baseman for an easy single.Just watched a taped game from Clearwater, the USF slapper lined into a double play, so that didn't go so well.....
Tightening the rules on stepping out of the box, and the proliferation of power hitters (not getting into reasons why batters 1-9 can pop it over the fence here) are making the slapper less valuable IMHO.
