It might solve the existing bat problems, but it would create one even worse. There's not enough ash and maple to supply the demand for bats if you change the HS rule to wood-only.
MLB is projecting a shortfall of wood for bats for pro ball only in 5-7 years. Switching HS (or HS and college) to wood would shorten that timeframe to months rather than years.
