Most of the fall ball at the high school level in my area are wood bat ball. The games are outstanding (most) and a pleasure to work. Pitchers challenge hitters.
I enjoy the two weeks I spend up on Cape Cod every summer watching the best college players in the country hit with wood bats. As I high school umpire I have learned a great deal about the three man rotation watching the games and have seen outstanding umpires.
The one concern I have about the wood bat / metal bat argument is that the first time a player is struck or impaled with a broken wooden bat, the liability will be spread to everyone.
