re: The New Bats are Killing College Baseball (Reasons Why)

There are 2 different methods to be within the new standards. One made the barrel thicker to slow down the exit speed, which still gives the bat a sweet spot. The other way is to put a ring inside the barrel to slow down the exit speed, which takes the sweet spot away. The numbers are different between the 2 bats. Now the difference in bats should not completely change the offensive production, but you will see more home runs with the first.
