Ok, here's a question: Why do most college players use bats with metal barrels but a lot of high school players use bats with composite barrels? Is metal better vs composite? why?

One-piece aluminum bats are stiffer and generally more end-loaded. Taking advantage of those characteristics requires more strength. There's definitely a macho component with college players and aluminum. Composites are "soft" (they don't sting your hands as much.)
