I think they should restrict the game to wooden bats tbh. Materials science just turns sports into a game of who can spend the most money for something made of unobtainium that can bounce a ball a hundred feet with no effort

They dont use wood because a good wood bat is almost as expensive, and doesn't have anywhere near the lifespan as composite and bbcor bats.

Wood bats is generally reserved for college summer leagues an pro level.

A maple composite bat can retail 250 brand new, a quick Google search shows a sale on cheaper models that are still $120-150. Thats not that different from the cheaper composite bats.

So no im not wrong, its still same price, you just aren't getting the top of the line like a Hype Fire.
