Danny Hayes got robbed of a game winning home run at Omaha by a dead ball, bat, or both. He absolutely crushed one only to have it stay in the park. That was not a dead ball or bat. That was a big ass park they built into the prevailing wind. They have since moved in the fences in Omaha.When? |

The flatter seamed ball that travels farther evidently solved the issue….sort off. There was a lot of push to move in the fences though. Ok, then you need to tell me about the dead bat era you claimed. The BBCOR bats weren’t rolled out until 2013, so how was there a dead bat era that started in 2011? |

BBCOR bats were rolled out in 2011. 2013 was year three of the BBCOR bats. I am unsure if they had new rules in 2013 for the bats or not. After four years of nationwide reduced offensive production, the NCAA changed the balls in 2015 to something more like MLB baseballs to try and compensate for the bats destroying scoring. |

Yes, but the 2013 BBCOR’s were the ones where the trampoline effect was greatly reduced and they began to monitor it considered. They also put in the ABI testing so you couldn’t continue to use an older bat as they were prone to get hotter with more use. |

How did the seam change affect pitching?

How did the seam change affect pitching? They reduced the seam height which makes the ball more aero-dynamic and it flies further. |

I think the bigger part of lower seams for a baseball on offense is the fact that the pitch will have less movement. Less movement=more contact/better contact=more balls in play=more scoring.(whether a HR or not) Your point is also valid. |

But 2011-2014 were the lowest-scoring years in Division 1 baseball since 1972-1975. 2014 featured the fewest home runs per game since at least 1970. I am not doubting you, but the downward trajectory for run-scoring began between the 2010 and 2011 seasons. (After seeing more and more runs being scored each year from 2007 to 2010.) |
