It's not as bad a transition if the team goes from 60' to 70' to 80' to the full 90' foot diamond. My son's travel team did that over one season. First few games at 70' then a number at 80'. The final games of the summer/fall were on the 90' diamond. By that time they had pretty much adjusted.

One additional comment to those already mentioned, the out field gaps (LC and RC) are now much bigger so the outfielders need to be identify gap shots quicker and have more speed. And yes, the 250' HR's are now just routine fly ball outs.
