Because the pitcher andthe 3rd baseman would be killed. They would have to wear face masks at least, with that power the ball comes off too quick.

I thought they just upped the bat speed due to being lighter. :manny:

Do you want to see players die on the field every night????

You'd have to have click wrap agreements signed off on every ticket you ever bought to get into a stadium.

Waivers and sheit so you couldn't sue the owners after your mother got her trachea smashed in by a Tulo line drive.

faster bat speed->more power and fukkin bullets hit off the bat

Yeah but wood bats are heavier. Wouldn't something heavier drive something further? I'm with you with it coming off the bat faster. I just think wood due to being heavier generates more power.

aluminum is far more elastic. balls bounce off that biitch and lose less energy on collision.

therefore the mass of the bat just isnt that relevant, plus the velocity component contributes far more to velocity of center of mass after the collision...
