cowbyfan1,
Why could a ball, fouled back, off an aluminum bat be *worst* than a ball, fouled back, off the wooden bat?
Confusing.

Why does the ball carry farther off an aluminum bat than it does a wooden one when it is hit normally?? If it goes faster and farther forward, seems to me it will do the same backwards. So if a pitcher is throwing 95 and it is fouled straight back into my mask, don't you think it will be coming back at me faster if fouled off an aluminum bat then a wooden bat???
One more thing to add. Like Tee and a couple others stated before. A number of lower level guys like to copy what the MLB guys do and wear. I am seeing more MLB guys wearing the mask this year then in previous years combined. So if more of them are wearing it, then more people at the lower levels are apt to at least try it.
