Again, I'd rather we go back to wood. I hate aluminum. Hate it, hate it, hate it. BBCOR is better than BESR. No question about it. But wood reinforces good mechanics, and forces the kids who rely on their arms out of the game early.

I pretty much agree with this 100% except I really doubt we will go to wood bats again. Too much money is tied up in aluminum bats for them to ever go away. You are correct in that wood bats teaches you to become a good hitter but I think we will get close to this with BBCOR bats in the near future. It won't be the same because BBCOR bats still have a little more forgiveness than a wood bat but it's not ridiculous like it was under BESR.
