Figured you were...even if I were a big league pitcher, with enough velocity and placement to blow it past most hitters, I would not want to face them with aluminum bats. Most fans don’t understand the difference in talent between college and the minors, and the minors and the show.
In Little League, I had to face a pitcher who made it to the AAA level in his early 20s. I still haven’t seen those fastballs he threw past me. Hitting a round ball with a round bat is still the most difficult of all athletic feats.
Yep.
In the bigs, a ball can come off the bat at 90+mph. An aluminum bat could add up to 20(!)mph to that!
