MLB uses wooden bats because it's tradition. That's the way it's been since the beginning, and that's the way it'll stay for a long while.
The NCAA uses aluminum because it is more cost effective. Larger, high budget schools could afford the cost of wood bats (at least 20 bats per player per year), but lower budget schools could not afford that. At 50 bux a bat, a grand per player for 30ish players is NOT acceptable. Aluminum bats are at most 500 dollars a piece. That is at least half of the cost of wood bats, and money that can be distributed elsewhere.

ok permit me positioned this delusion to relax. A timber bat has in basic terms as stable, if no longer a bigger candy spot the aluminum. With aluminum the candy spot is greater beneficial, for this reason why it rather is way less annoying to hit. If a ball hits the cope with or end of a timber bat, the bat will crack, and the ball is going nowhere. With a metallic bat it is easy to tension the ball a approaches. Regardless, timber OR metallic, if the ball is hit ineffective on the screws the ball is going to fly. i've got performed 2 years of JUCO have been we used metallic bat, and this season I transfered to a D2 college that makes use of timber bat. I somewhat have seen in basic terms as many puzzling hit balls from timber, as metallic. As of suitable now, i think of each point of school baseball might desire to change to timber, just to make the recreation greater aggressive. extreme college can stay an identical because of the fact childrens arn't stable adequate yet, and can't ruin out with hitting a ball on the cope with or end of the bat.

Major League pitchers would be in wayyyyy too much danger if hitters used aluminum bats. The games would be too high scoring too. Even guys like former player Mike Mordecai could hit 20 HRs with aluminum bats.

It's only a matter of time before a college player is maimed or killed by a ball hit off an aluminum bat.

As hard as the pro players hit the ball, they would kill somebody. Look at Juan Encarnacion of St. L. If the batter had been using a metal bat, Juan would be dead right now.

Because people would get killed and you would see A-Rod hitting 70-100 home runs in a season and Jeter would suddenly become a 40 homerun man.
Any questions?
