I watched Texas A&M play Gonzaga friday night and boy was the hitting different! Texas A&M was hitless though 7 and 1/3 innings until finally poking one through. I know bats always start out slow to start the season but the game went to the bottom of the 11th and there was never a ball hit deeper than mid-outfield. The turning point of the game was balks. Gonzaga had three (one put a man on third in the 11th to be the winning run) and A&M with one. It was just interesting to see a game where "the little things" made more of a difference in a match up like this one.
Interested if anyone else has seen the impact of BBOCR bats in any other collegiate games this season.
I think the new bats might be a big equalizer among universities until recruiting can be changed.
