In all the years playing this game I've never seen ground balls hit so hard they got through the infield and rolled all the way to the outfield fence past my outfielders. Billy Hamilton should not be getting beat in the OF by grounders. It feels like everyone is using aluminum bats.

I just want to mention that another cause is outfielders start positioned closer than in real life (for the most part), they often sprint in toward the ball on grounders, and grass doesn't have any difference in friction compared to that of dirt.

I don't know how off BESR is in this game (though I can imagine that on the most solid hits it may be coming off the bat too hard), but there are plenty of other things they are going to have to address other than just that. In other words, I hope they don't just decide to slow down the BESR until Hamilton is beating the OF with grounders; I hope they take everything else into account as well.
