As they should be.
In your opinion, what is the right amount of HRs? Should it match the number per game as in the ML, or should it be more or less? Our HSV is hitting .4 of a HR per game and giving up .2 per game for the 1st 19 games of the season.
My opinion is not that specific. My opinio is that the closer we get to the results that we'd have with wood bats, the better.
I don't beleive that, over time, the end of cheap off-the-handle doubles and fewer home runs will be the demise of kids interest in baseball. I played in wood bat days and we acceoted our abilities and our results just fine.
Hitting with hot metal bats introduced an artificial element into the game and everyone knew it. Reality will set in with the BBCOR bats and in just a few years, no one will be left playing college or high school that had any experience with the phony results of metal.
I think that will be good for the game. Hitters will still hit. Results will be more skill based.
