They almost play too true imo. Real grass and dirt takes funny hops at times. I don't like turf.I remember years ago artificial turf fields like the Houston Astrodome - the ball would bounce like it was coming off a trampoline. It was ridiculous, and totally altered the game. I don't follow baseball much at all. But, I trust that the artificial turfs today play much more like dirt/grass.
As an old guy that loves baseball, I prefer to watch games on grass. But it’s completely understandable why teams would do this.
I’ve never played on artificial turf, but I’m told infielders get a more predictable and consistent hop from the ball.
