BBCOR Bats
My first 2 HS games with BBCOR. One extra base hit (double). Maybe it was the teams, but the ball doesn't seem to jump off of them.

I believe it is still early in the season and the hitters aren't quite ready yet. Honestly I don't expect to see any significant changes in hitters or hitting because of the bats.

We're a year ahead of you here in California with the BBCOR rule. And it most definitely made a difference in the power the bats generate. HRs were down, as were the runs and ERAs.

How have Aluminum Bats Changed Baseball? |
I know this is an official's forum, but speaking as a coach this is a good thing (i.e., to get the metal bats closer/equivalent to wood). Maybe we can get back to teaching kids how to swing properly.
Don't get me wrong, I love HRs (especially when my kids are the ones hitting them!). It's just that as a parent/coach I get tired of hearing the same bad advice given because it worked with juiced/composite bats. |
Baseball is a game of defense. The new bats restore balance to the game. JMHO.

Perhaps we will see more strategy, hit and run, bunting, rather than Earl Weaver style managing? I love a well played defensive struggle, pitching and defense rules!!

No home runs in six college games so far. Several balls caught on the warning track.
