Good article here (http://www.omaha.com/sports/with-scholarship-limit-college-baseball-careers-come-with-a-cost/article_9c27f775-3564-5051-b7f9-f258c8c37fd1.html?mode=jqm) that explains the challenges faced by both college baseball players (walk-ons and the 25% guys) and coaches trying to get the math right for 11.7 partial scholarships available for 27 players.
It's a more concise than than the infamous Polk letter.
I'm not sure the idea of a only- or mostly-Power 5 baseball division is viable since not all of the P5 schools are willing to invest in baseball. It would up travel costs significantly, especially for the Pac-12 since there aren't that many teams out west as it is. If upping the scholarship limit meant that only 150 or 180 schools fielded D1 baseball teams instead of 295, I could live with that.
