3) Stolen bases are down, which I can't explain. In the last year of the juiced bats (2010) they were stealing more bases than they were in 2012? Have coaches taught their pitchers to hold runners better? I dunno, that one doesn't make sense to me. I would think stolen bases would be up in 2011 and 2012.

fenway- Maybe there just are that fewer opportunities to steal since there are less runners on base. Not sure, just speculation.

Why? What’s your issue with non-wood? From the looks of it, BBCOR has been a huge step in returning the numbers from bloated and misshapen, to pretty much what they were with wood. Isn’t that what the main purpose of going to wood is?

Those are some interesting data points. What really caught my eye:
1) the difference in batting avg between 1975 and 1976. If aluminum bats started in 1974 why the hug difference between 75 and 76?

It's been a long time, and my memory could be off, but I believe I remember that not all schools made the 100% switch in the first year.
