Okay, so I’ve been seeing this question pop up a lot online: “Do college baseball players use wooden bats?” I got curious, so I decided to dig in and find out for myself. Here’s what I did and what I found.
My Little Investigation
First, I hit up some forums and baseball blogs. I figured, who better to ask than the people who are actually playing or have played college ball, right? I scrolled through tons of comments and posts, trying to get a feel for what the general consensus was.
Then, I checked out the official NCAA rulebook. I mean, that’s the ultimate source, isn’t it? I pored over the equipment section, specifically looking for anything about bat regulations.
After that, I watched some college baseball game footage. This was mostly to see things with my own eyes. Plus, I just enjoy watching baseball, so it wasn’t exactly a chore.
What I Learned
Here is the key takeaway
It turned out to be pretty straightforward. No wooden bats in NCAA!
- No Wood Allowed: The NCAA has some pretty strict rules about bats.
- BBCOR is King:The main thing is that all bats have to be BBCOR * is all about the safety.
So, there you have it. No wooden bats swinging in college baseball games. I went in curious, did some digging, and came out with a clear answer. Hope this helps anyone else who was wondering the same thing!
