As far as wood vs metal bats, it doesn't matter what hit the ball when the ball hits you! It hurts, it causes damage and it can be deadly. But what is more amazing is how a person stands less than 60 feet away after releasing a projectile traveling 90 plus MPH toward another person swinging an object 70 plus MPH (in the opposite direction of the projectile) with intention of reversing that projectile at a comparable speed!

In other words, part of being a pitcher is knowing that you are in harm's way - that's a fact that you cannot dispute! What does matter is how quickly that projectile reaches the pitcher - and again the fact remains that metal bats can do this faster than a wood bat. That is why BESR was invented!?!
