Would the ball travel further off a wooden bat than these dead aluminum bats?

This has been touched on but the current set up is a way to pitcher friendly. Pitchers can make a mistake, the batter can get get a great swing on the ball and its a long fly out instead of a HR. There's no penalty for the pitcher for the bad pitch by having a HR hit.

If I am not mistaken, the BBCOR bats respond exactly as a wooden bat would. I just looked at the LSU games box scores. Their 3,4,5 and 6 hitters were combined 3 for 29. I know Rhymes himself was the 3rd out 4 times leaving at least 8 runners stranded in the UNC game. That's not all bad bats, bad balls and large field. That's a slump at the worst imaginable time.
