The new ball should help things out some this year.

Well it should. That's something I'm actually looking forward to seeing. LSU and SCAR had always played big ball until the bats were changed to the BBCore standard, I think that's what they call it. I'm hoping to see some more dingers out of both of those clubs this year. Those used to be some epic battles with balls flying out of the park everywhere.

I remember one Super Regional SCAR was playing in, I think it was down at Georgia maybe ten years ago or so, where I wanna say SCAR sent four in a row over the fence and came very close to putting the fifth one out ... I'm talking about back-to-back-to-back-to-back. I'm not sure these new balls are going to allow for that kind of exhibition swinging for the fences like LSU and SCAR used to do all the time, but the new seams are supposed to make a substantial difference.
