HR numbers down across the board?

[93 red ls]

Since it was brought up in the CHL thread good for discussion about the HR numbers this year.

How does everyone feel about the comparison from 17 to 16?

[fortfan]

I've seen 5-6 HR's this season when I rarely see more than 2.

[93 red ls]

Just adding these 5-6 leagues top 5 guys (these are in or around the 275 loop in Cincinnati)

looks like 80 were hit last year and 71 hit this year?

Just topic for discussion

I know PERSONALLY I thought pitching in the league I follow (CHL) was down
last year reading and taylor had some HORSES!

[Baseballfan20]

I would like to see the low seam ball used in college adopted by HS baseball.
I think that would give us more HRs without making the bats hotter.

IMO to me, it just seemed this was a year were teams across the area had some legitimate pitching and the hitters weren't as polished. Next year will probably be the opposite. Runs in cycles.
