adminbaberuth Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Nike might get sued. Young man gets his ship taken away for batting .220 when previous year .320.
Big Stick Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 I would like to see wooden bats at every level.JMI
westend1 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Had my first experience with BBCOR last night in Bridge City. Not only was a well hit ball not a homerun, but balls I'm used to seeing flare out over the infield are now caught by the middle infielders. This is going to affect not only the power hitters but also the guys who are contact hitters. Definitely a lot less forgiving.
Guest baseball25 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 kids in high school would struggle with wood bats, they already struggle with aluminum!!!
srookb1 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Has anyone had experience with the Demarini Voodoo or Marucci Cat 5 bbcor bats. They had good reviews on Baseball Express.
