WOW we have to be aware this year on balls hit to RF where the right fielder is now playing much closer to the infield due to BBCOR bats. They are throwiing to 1st in an attempt to get the batter runner.

Never thought about that,interesting thought.
No difference from past years. Pause, read, react.
I don't recall it to be common in the wood-bat leagues I do, so I'm not too worried.
I had my first scrimmage today and it happened .. the coach said they are playing their outfielders in a little and have practiced it. Yeah if you keep your chest to the ball and pause read and react No problem. Just a heads up if teams will be practicing that play.
Had a DH on Saturday. Only one extra base hit!!!
Until we started to play 60-90, I had all my right fielders play close and we would get quite a few outs that way.
