Yes, that's why they changed where the pitcher stands and created a ball that flies like a rocket.This is my opinion, but I feel like it's probably correct.
I think the reason women's fastpitch is so popular with viewers is because the ball is put into play so much.
More action on the bases!
More home runs!
Can either think there's a balance between offense and defense or it does appear imbalanced now. game went from pitchers dual to over inflated batting averages.
Clearly though there are not as many dominating/ effective pitchers to make competition more balanced.
And batting averages sored with the purposeful changes that were made.
I agree that the pitchers dual with one run ball games was a bit slow for spectators. But I do believe that it has overblown towards the offense now.
With a goal to hopefully create more competitive pitching I think they should loosen and relax the restrictions in the women's game. Batters still will have the added advantage of the pitcher who's been moved back. A ball that flies like a rocket. And very light explosive technology of bats. Oh and let's not forget still a close home run fence.
imo watching run ruled games at the D1 level or any level for that matter is not fun either. Prefer competitive games!
