NCAA Division I baseball statistics indicate increasing offensive performance, particularly in home runs and runs scored, and the Committee believes this is due, in large part, to the kind of bats in use today.

HOORAY!
While homeruns are impressive to see I welcome back a little more offensive strategy. I love to see hit-n-runs, sacrifice bunts and even the occasional stolen base. It seemed teams tended to play for the 3-run homer lately instead of having to manufacture runs. For once I applaud the NCAA’s efforts to correcting an injustice. At least an injustice in my eyes.
Question?
Are we still using those crappy, frangible Nike bats? And I agree with deanpat92. I love the strategy of the game. When was the last time anyone saw a bunt in the college game?

As usuall, the NCAA complicates things -
They could just use wood. But that would be too easy. Instead they have them manufactor bats with the same characteristics as wood. /facepalm. Only in America.

NASA spent millions to design a pen that the astronauts could use in zero gravity.
The Russians gave their cosmonauts pencils.
I agree with you, tankertoad; wood is preferable, and it isn’t that much more expensive, but I am with deanpat92 and DavetheDawg: anything that restores some strategy to the college game is a plus. As Jefferson put it, “Half a loaf is better than no bread.”
