Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3173742, member: 7492"] Having coached baseball for 20+ years and played it for another 15 years, I can tell you the Major league diamond distances do not translate well for females. Very few would hit for the power and have the speed to leg out hits or throw with the strength needed. This is purely a physiological discussion. They could do a modified field of 50/70 and fences of 300 that would be on par with the current male equivalent based on size and strength. The women do play with a smaller basketball due to hand size. Mostly just moving the mound back 5 more feet would make the game more interesting. That and better analytics to show bunting is wasting an out. Do more hit and runs or allow runners to steal when the pitchers start their lunge forward in the windup and slightly before the ball Leaves their hand. Also re-entry of pitchers should not be allowed unless they stayed in the lineup and on the field after they were taken out. [/QUOTE]
