Homerun containment at TD Ameritrade will be a massive factor for us.

(1) 2021-MSU pitching has yielded 68% more HRs than the previous year, you need to go back 11 seasons to the last +60 HR year for opponents.
(2) However, 2021-MSU only gave up 6 more Total Bases and 50 fewer hits relative to 2019. Even fewer hits than dead bat 2014.
(3) Seems that teams can't string hits on MSU, the opposition need the big HR payoff and swing hard
(4) Is Gorilla Ball back in 2021 generally? Not for MSU. MSU only got 9% more HR in 2021 and struck out less

The Opposition in Omaha

(1) Tennessee has hit 85% more HRs in 2021. From 53 to 98 HRs, striking out 100 times more
(2) Texas has hit 133% more HRs in 2021. From a sad 27 to respectable 63, striking out 100 times more

If TD Ameritrade contains HRs like Arlington did in February and how TD Ameritrade has in years past, this is game changing for MSU. It neutralizes the best weapon against MSU. If Lemonis was planning for TD Ameritrade this whole time, then this is the greatest use of terrain since the Iron Duke at Waterloo with the Reverse Slope. Then he just needs to figure out how to beat the Rocker-Leiter.
