I know the GLVC use to be wood cause I played in it. However, I wanted to know if there are still any conferences out there swinging wood? I have a player who really enjoys swinging with wood just thought I try and help him out!

East Coast Conference, Central Atlantic and Northeast-10 use wood. I think all D2 conferences.
That 2010 article predicting that D2 would begin in 2012. Didn't happen. But maybe soon it will.
It just seems to me that going to wood would help the players who have high hopes of playing at the major league level get better prepared. Also, it would help MLB scout players using what they already use in MiLB and MLB. A no brainer to me IMO.

As a scout I love seeing wood bat, but the new BBCOR standards are pretty good. Wood not only gives a better read on a player but it also speeds up the game. It emphasis's defense, pitching and speed.

The Northeast 10 is the best wood bat conference in D2. There are only three as far as I know. Unless I missed something, not a single NE10 position player was drafted this year. Read into that what you will as to whether or not it really helps...
The Jr Colleges here in AZ have been using wood for quite a while now. It's a very good brand of baseball.
Scenic West Athletic Conference uses Wood. One of the best JUCO Conferences in America
NWAC JC League has used wood as long as I can remember. They get lots of draft and follows, and most players advance to college many to D1.
It it the real deal. Low scoring close contests decided by pitching and defense.
