Is gorilla ball back?
What is with all the home runs / is it that we are suddenly warming up temp wise or is there more to this? What say you baseball experts?

Did mlb donate all the juiced balls of 2020 regular season to college?**
-
Strikeouts are up too I believe right? I think it's just more of the launch angle mindset.

I agree with confucius say...launce angle on the brain

It's a multi-facetted issue.
College baseball is headed towards the same 3 outcome problem MLB has: HR, BB, K & very little action on the bases or defensively.
This is due to a few reasons:
1. Technology has allowed pitchers to make major gains due to pitch design, velocity building, & game planning.
2. However, what technology has found is that high fast balls are the best fastballs to create swing & miss. They give up more HRs though.
3. Hitters on the other hand, have realized that getting 3 hits in an inning off pitchers that have used pitch design & are throwing 95 is extremely unlikely. Thus, they are trying to hit HRs.
The end result is that we've got 3 outcomes. HR, K, or BB. Run scoring on the whole has remained fairly constant, so the hitters' approach is working, but it just creates a more boring game where athleticism isn't as much of a factor.
CAN'T PUT A SADDLE ON A MUSTANG
Quit Your Bi$&$&?!, He's Not Going to Run the Ball More

Shotgun, mlb is getting so boring. I watch the braves religiously (unfortunately), but can't even watch a game with without the braves. Baseball has to do something bc the product is terrible

Been saying this for a while.
College right now is about perfect, hope it stays that way.

Would the option of moving fences back 20/30 feet make a big difference?

Warm weather allows for further distance as well.

I understand and this issue is what instigated substance crack down in MLB. Trying to created more contact.
The other thing you can do is ban shifts. Require that 2 infielders are on either side of 2B.
Could also lower the mound.

Maybe but these stadiums don't have room
-
The stadiums didn't change but one thing that bugs me about baseball. There should not be so much difference in ballparks.
What if you played a basketball game where one court was 10 ft longer or rim an inch lower or football where it was only 90 yards. Baseball is just weird that way.

And move the mound back.
