The Baseballs are Flying in Omaha

The NCAA men’s college world series is in full swing (literally) in Omaha, Nebraska this year. Judging by the box scores so far you would think the balls are wound way tighter or the bats are that much better. Right out of the gate game 1 ended 15 to 10. Followed by a 14 to 4 and a 12 to 4 respectfully. Looking at it many times you can win a game with 4 runs.

The major factors that are playing a part in the box scores, first and foremost the balls are the same as they have been in years past. The bats are the same also. Basically it boils down to PITCHING. The average baseball fan does not realize that how many players are taken in the MLB draft straight from high school. This is becoming a trend for major league scouts. Why not draft a young fresh arm with talent straight from high school, as opposed to a pitcher who worked a ton of innings for 4 years of college.

This translates to more pitchers who would not be pitching at a division 1 college level. Now these pitchers are finding that they are pitching in Omaha for the college world series. It’s not that the hitters are getting that much better either. It all falls on the MOUND. And this year many are falling in the seats.

The Women’s division I college world series is underway. Again Hall of fame stadium in Oklahoma City is the stage for the best teams in college softball to gather and make a run at a national title.

Once again Easton sports has helped these elite athletes prepare to excel on this stage. The Easton 2008 stealth composite 2 piece bats will lead the way in this prestigious event. Easton has once again went back to the drawing board to deliver the best performing and most durable softball bats you can buy.

Easton stealth composite bats are aerospace grade composite material combined with a patented true 2 piece technology giving the hitter “opti-flexion” independent flexion handle to barrel. The independent flexion reduces vibration to the hands while increasing energy transfer to the ball at point of contact. Resulting in the largest sweetspot and highest performing bat on the market. 4 of the 8 college world series teams in 2006 ( Alabama, Texas, Oregon State, UCLA) used Easton products to get them in line for the coveted NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
