Doesn’t the MLB have a rule for this specifically?

Umm... yea you only use wooden bats in the MLB. Not sure how using metal bats in college is “candy coating” it. College baseball and MLB are very different games and personally I prefer college baseball.

Here is OP commending Miss State on their ballpark and all around not saying anything bad about college baseball

Troll.

Quality ballpark and so many people showing up for a baseball game.

Very intimidating. Congrats!

Keep doing whatever you are doing there. It made the difference today especially with your fans. Nice atmosphere.

I remember the days when you could hang out in the left field lounge and hit Penns on the way out for half price chicken on a stick. Glorious.

Yes sir! That is College Baseball in a nutshell.

You’re either fricking retarded, or this is a pretty solid troll.

My understanding of it is there is not enough wood to go around to fully support college baseball as well as the major and minor leagues.

Metal bats came into play in the late 60's or early 70's.

It was an economic decision. Wooden bats break and they cost was the main reason for the switch to aluminum.

College baseball was not as big as it is today and baseball programs were hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

The decision was made and it has not changed. Professional baseball still hung onto wood bats.

I think today you could make the argument to get rid of aluminum bats due to safety. The ball flies off of metal bats much faster than wood and pitchers are at risk.

IMO there would be a lot of pull back from the smaller schools and conferences due to cost.
