NCAA Slapper rules are unfair

DD played at a D2 school this fall with fences that were 190’ down the line with a ton of grass behind the fence meaning it wasn’t a space issue. I’m glad she was able to keep the ball in the park that day.

Watching random games on ESPN, and there are P-5 schools that are 190' down the lines. The one I remember for sure was the Big Ten tournament being played at Indiana and it was 190'.

I believe Oklahoma State's home field is 190 down the lines.

The penalty isn't the same in NCAA softball. In HS and youth ball, the batter is out every time. In NCAA, it's a delayed dead ball, and the defensive coach has option of result of play or strike on batter. It's a fair compromise.

I have to believe that the DDB will filter down to NFHS and travel ball.

Oklahoma State's field is pretty old I believe. Not sure what the dimensions of OU's new field is going to be (if that is what you were referring to..)

Agree...

If your foot is supposed to be in the box, then it should be in the box, not 99% out of the box.

The NCAA's rule does seem more straightforward for umpires to enforce and the penalty makes sense.

Hmmm the bats were already composite with the new flight ball designing a field at 190' is still close compared by other fields built years back.

Will be interesting to see OU new field dimensions. Is there a scheduled completion date?

Guess 210' at center, maybe all the way around?

Not justifying it. I just though you were confusing OSU with OU...lol.

OU's current field looks like 225' to center with what looks like a 6' fence.

I wish they would just do away with slapping altogether, along with the stupid dropped third strike rule, but that is just me.
