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.
