Reply to "BBCOR Bats in Cold Weather??"

Good point MidAtlanticDad ....

I think you at least gave me something else to consider.

The reason for my post was in response to mine and my son's "suspicion" that when we do BP outside in the cold weather in the pre-season the ball seems to travel not quite as far than when it's warmer.

Of course that begs the next question ... Do warm baseballs travel farther than cold baseballs?? Certainly as you pointed out there is an increase in risk of bat damage, and that alone might warrant him using a wood bat at the beginning of the season until temps get over 60 degrees.

Just looking for some validity to my suspicions or is it just in my head. Unfortunately there are other variables I can't rule out either - this is Seattle rain and moisture are an issue certainly wet baseballs are heavier; this is pre-season batting performance will be different than from the end of last season;

just trying to figure things out ....
