It will be very interesting to see total runs per game compared to last year... I understand the need for safety, but if you look at the toal number of games played in all of baseball in college, D-1 D-2, D-3 and NAIA and look at the number of times that a pitcher has been seriously harmed, it's very few. I also know that NCAA wanted colleges to go to wooden bats, but I don't know how many teams can afford to keep buying wooden bats when they break.... Just my opinion..

This was not the NCAA who pushed for the rule change, this came from MLB. MLB has pressed for bat changes for the last several years as they have brought "power hitters" from the college ranks to being guys who hit the ball to the warning track at best.
