in response to reader comment: What about the Cost?

Submitted by joe ballplayer, Aug 31, 2007 13:36

its really not a big deal financially the bats go from anywere around 35 dollar rawlings bat to a 100 for a composite wood or bamboo each player will break only about three bats a season. i wasa on a team last year summer league who didnt break one bat. its just the fact that hitters are gonna have to be better players and theres no mistkaes on a wood bat itll really sepereate the great players from the lucky ones
