I've heard that High School baseball players in New York have to use wood bats.?

Question

I didn't think this was true but if anyone knows for sure that would be great.

Answer 1

This isn't true for all of New York STATE, but for New York CITY, it's absolutely true.  The 2008 season was the first with the new rule.

Personally, I like the sound of the wood bats.  However, I'm still not sold on the safety aspect.  A ball hit on the sweet spot will travel just as fast either way (BESR Certification).

Therefore, the balls that are most dangerous, liners back at pitchers, won't be any different.  The difference is that this season, I actually got to see the effects of getting jammed or taking one off the end of the bat.  It's now more of an infielder's game than it used to be.
