These days of baseball compared to the Gorilla ball days

I see lots of people talking about how Deichmanns homerun wasnt much different thank Ryan Schimpf and Blake Deans and some others but i think everybody has forgot about the fact that these guys are swinging BB Core bats now which is pretty much like swinging a wood bat. The older aluminum and composite bats had way more pop in them with a larger sweet spot.. All in all Deichmanns shot last night shows that he can swing with anybody plus the fact of having 3 bombs 5 games in. Im gonna go on a limb and say Deichmann hits over his 11 dingers last year maybe 15+ this year of course we wont know till we see some better pitchers but for now he is seeing the ball pretty well.

Except they didn't swing the hot bats.

I understand that but im just saying in general it was easier even 7 years ago to hit more homeruns due to the bats

My sophomore year we went from -5 to -3
Easton Redline and Z-core are the best bats ever, but they crack easy

Their bats were composite which has more pop, the bats changed in 2011 if im not mistaken which was the year after dean and schimpf

It's a real life miracle that no pitcher or third baseman ever died from a batted ball coming off of those weapons.

I remember when i was younger i went to a game with my grandpa and Blair Barbier hit a ball that no one in the stadium nor on the field new where it went, all i know is he hit it and it went straight up going towards left field and if i had to guess landed on top of the dorms in the old alex box

They both have their pluses and minuses.

BBCOR bats are not like swinging a wood bat. Swinging a wood bat is better than swinging a BBCOR bat

Those ZCore bats were hot fire son. Jesus I loved mine more than most people love their wives.

Modern form of lethal weapon while standing in a batter's box. This bat was incredible

Sound was much worse than its bite.

He's always had the power but now he's being more selective about what pitch he goes after. He'll be a menace in SEC play if he can continue to be patient at the plate.

In high school I would break two bats a year. Had a redline that i broke...got the warranty return...broke another. Then I had the z core and did the same thing the next year. But yes...they were hot. I actually broke another guys redline that had warped into an oval but not cracked for him lol. Finished the last year with one of those lime green sc777#
