Beezer-Add to the economics that the Emerald Ash Borer is killing and causing the destruction of millions of ash trees every year and the laws of supply and demand may really be thrown off.
The metal bat is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a strong hitter.
If, "god forbid" a player is seriously injured, the attorney's will hold everyone liable; the bat maker, the league officials, the team coach, the
event producer and anyone connected with the event or league.
The word "future earnings" will be presented and there is not sufficient liability insurance in the teams and league policy to protect the officials.
This is the economic argument.
There is the "moral" side, which will be with us the remainder of our life.
We could have make a difference!

I dont see a problem with a bigger sweet spot for youth bats because we no longer develop pitchers who throw strikes to zones and nationally the local leagues have expanded that strike zone to an area that a wood sweet spot would never hit.
We have bought the mentality if you're in the box to "swing the bat" and created a pitching mentality that "they will swing at anything". Why throw it across the plate if I dont have to, this way I can work on my new curveball, or my slider and don't have to worry because if it's somewhat close they'll be swinging anyway. Here is where you pitching abuse has it's start.
If you force them to understand the zone, you will force them to throw the pitch that hits that zone, that pitch will be the FB. Walks kill, and it won't take long for coaches to figure that out and stress throwing "real strikes" with their best pitch.
