So AABC makes the announcement that Connie Mack and Mickey Mantle levels will use wood bats in all post season and and qaulifying tournaments.
Will this force leagues (BBI, Lone Star, ect.) to implement wood bats in their league play?
How will college coaches evaluate talent now when pitching and defense will certainly dominate the game?
How will players adapt to it? Where once front foot hitters could have much success and pitchers in the low 80's didn't.
How will coaches adapt to it? Do coaches have the fundamental knowledge for a wood bat game?
Will HS eventually follow suit and implement wood bats? What about colleges?
If they do, will you see less or more HS players drafted?
Some elite summer teams have already committed to using wood regardless of venue throughout the summer. Will this encourage others to do the same?
Personally, I think the amateur game will change drastically as we knew it in the summer.
It will get interesting folks...baseball might be baseball again.
