Metal bats have become synonymous with college baseball and differentiated it from the major and minor leagues.
Wooden bats were once common in college baseball, but in 1974 , as a way to increase offense and address cost concerns, a widespread switch to metal bats was made.
Metal bats generally have a higher initial purchase price than wooden bats, but there’s not the same threat with every pitch like there is with a wooden bat.
- 5) A bat may not weigh, numerically, more than three units less than the length of the bat (e.g., a 34-inch -long bat cannot weigh less than 31 ounces). - 6) A non-wood bat must have an approved, coded certification mark on the barrel of the bat signifying the bat is legal for NCAA competition. - 7) The bat barrel color must be of a predominantly contrasting color to the color of the baseball between the 18-inch mark to the end cap.
