Your analogy is faulty, for it is the bat and not the ball that is in question at the high school and NCAA levels. A BB gun carries nowhere near the force and potential lethality that a rifle carries.
No one ever said wooden bats were immune from causing injury, but they are less dangerous than metal bats. One need not be a physicist to understand how and why.
If metal bats were no more dangerous, then why do their manufacturers and the various baseball regulatory bodies tinker around with the exit speed ratios and other characteristics of such bats? We don't see continual changes to wooden bats the way we do with metal bats.
Simply put, metal bats are more dangerous.
