PEARL, Miss. — College baseball's new
metal bats have been praised by fans,
coaches and pitchers. Game times are
quicker and there are dramatically lower
run totals.

But some of the biggest fans of the new
bats are Major League Baseball scouts.

For these talent evaluators, the college
variation of the game resembles "true"
baseball for the first time in years, making
their job a little easier as MLB's draft
approaches in June.

"It takes some of the guesswork out of
recruiting in college baseball," said Art
Gardner, a Major League Baseball regional
scout who is based in Mississippi. "You
used to go to a game and it seemed like
every team's lineup had six guys with 10-
plus homers.

"It was a constant struggle to figure out the
true power hitters."

So….will we see more accuracy in future drafts as related to both pitching/hitting?  If this deflates some power numbers it might make pitchers look more like their "actual" selves as well.  Should be interesting going forward to see if there are fewer early picks who are busts.
