Better Hitting

Posted by Parent on March 27, 2026, 9:52 am

It really seems like DI hitters are killing it this year (also backed up by AI search). Is it just a coincidence, better bat talent than pitching, or has something changed?

The ball has changed. One thing I guarantee you is that D1 players are not hitting those trash balls that Betcher and Conroy use in their tournaments.

D1 players are hitting really hard balls not the socks used in the local Chicago area.

Agreed. So how does one make D1?

D1 players are delivered from a stork. Gerry and Bill just don't put on the bird costume on any longer.
