That’s happening in Slow pitch softball, too. I play in a church league, and everybody’s buying $300 bats that are made out of two different materials. I’ve seen a lot of weird injuries that I don’t think would have happened with normal metal bats.

Remember when all you had to do to “fix” a bat was cork the handle and use pine tar?

Especially when you use one of the really “hot” illegal bats. The ball can come off those bats at over 125 MPH, the pitcher just does not have time to react.

But when you hit one with those bats it feels like you are Willie Stargell!
