NCAA Baseball to Change Baseballs?

Did you know that the baseball used in NCAA is not the same type of baseball used in Major League Baseball? I knew the bats were different, but I just figured that all baseballs are the same.

Apparently, not. Although there may be a push to have the NCAA go with the same ball that the pros use.

Leggett has an idea that he believes could find a happy medium for the game. Leggett is pushing for a change in the ball that is used in the college game. He wants to switch to the ball used in professional baseball.

Did you have any idea the ball was different?

“They’re not going to change the bats,” Leggett said, “so I think going to the minor-league baseball, a little bit harder ball with lower seams and a little bit more carry on the ball, you’ve got a more exciting game.”

I think that Leggett actually has a good idea here. The more you can make the NCAA game like the MLB game, it will be easier for the the players to try and make the jump to the minor leagues (and hopefully) the majors.

Clemson. They actually have a good idea.
