You picked D1 softball. That's cool. The way I see it is the hitters have steadily gotten better with more emphasis put on instruction and practice. Jeez look how many threads we have here for hitting. Just because the BA goes up does not mean the zone is smaller. What were this years stats?
We are still in the 18U and the big showcase have expanded strike zone because the college coaches aren't there to see kids walk. They want the kids to go get those pitches in the river brushing the other batters box.
