Wood Bats
Solid, one-piece wood bats (as defined by NCAA Baseball Rule 1-12-a) are automatically approved.

Solid barrel, multi-piece wood bats (as determined by the NCAA) must comply with the BBCOR protocol except for the “Bat Testing Procedure” described below. Two 33 inch samples of each model must be submitted with a certification request. Multi-piece wood bats will be examined to verify a solid barrel construction.

Rule 1-12-a
SECTION 12. a. Wood bat. The bat must be a smooth, rounded stick not more than 23/4 inches in diameter at its thickest part nor more than 42 inches in length. There must be a direct line from the center of the knob to the center of the large end. Any material to improve the grip may be used for a distance not to exceed 18 inches from the end of the handle. It is mandatory that all bats have an identification mark 18 inches from the end of the handle. An indentation in the end of the bat up to 1 inch in depth is permitted (cupped bats). All bats other than one-piece solid wood must be certified in accordance with the NCAA certification program.

Demarini makes a wood barrel/composite handle bat called, "The Corndog".

Fate for LSU to swing said bat.

I remember seeing something about those once. Too good to be true.

1-0
