There is a devastating infestation of a beetle that has already destroyed tens of millions of ash trees in the U.S. and Canada. Its effects have already resulted in a shortage of wood for making bats. This will, of course, make them more costly as well.

Maple is not the answer, obviously. Bamboo composite performs magnificently, and is amazingly durable, and of course is quite plentiful. That could be the answer for amateur and collegiate baseball.
