EXACTLY!

The Bruins' .227 batting average in the CWS also was the lowest since teams went away from wood bats.

So lowest since 1975.

Players need to get used to that...how bats perform like wood bats for professional baseball.

I never understood how players went from the trampoline Gorilla ball bats to the wood bats in the Minors/Pros in the 80's/90's.

It was like using a smaller rubber ball in CFB and then going to the NFL with a big leather ball as QB.

its not just the bats, they use a completely duff ball as well. diesnt make sense.... ok make the bats simulate wood bats, then why the hell not make the ball simulate a pro ball? just doesnt make sense to me.

Do these new college bats really perform like wooden bats? I did not know this. I thought that these new bats were a more "dead" than wooden bats.

If the new bats are very close to performing like wood (except for breaking), then, the NCAA is on the right track.

If what you say is true, then, I have to point to the size of the new Omaha stadium as the problem -- it is gigantic at a time when MLB is building band boxes.
