Of course, real bats (wood) do not need warming up!

Easy now. There are many of us who work both baseball and softball so some points may be brought up based on others' knowledge and experience. With that said, I agree 100% - Yes, the two sports are completely different when it comes to bats.

For those of you "dual" officials - I contacted the representative of the company (I like to get to the bottom of things without wasting much time.) The approval came in 2010. There has been no continual approval. ASA changed the rule and the device is now strictly prohibited in ASA (although I don't expect that to be on the company's website). SOFTBALL INTERP. ONLY!
