redneckon2wheels it's just the dangers of aluminum bats, if it's a line drive to the pitches head, it's like +100mph with an aluminum bat. While with a wood bat, it's slower so less deadly
That's one of the reasons they switched to bbcor bbcor bats don't come off the bat faster then the 80's for you average collage guys slower for a rage high school I don't know how old you are but my dad played high school baseball in the mid 90's they used straight aluminum bats those would come off even faster then the besr did besr compared to bbcor is a huge difference I never got to hit with them in high school because the standard switched my freshman year but with the besr I was hitting just as far in 8th grade as I was in 9th
You guys obviously don’t have a son who pitches. My son is 11 and is one of the better pitchers in his age group. If a player throws the ball hard enough and good hitter can KILL the person on the mound. It’s easy to say “stop being a baby” until the most priceless thing in your world is literally stand in harms way.
Joshua Hines if your son is 11 he probably throws like 50-55... I’m a pitcher too and I can tell you that if he can’t react or at least move out of the way of a ball coming of another 11 yo’s bat then he probably shouldn’t be on the mound.
Pitchers are pussies. They should wear helmets if they are that worried about it. Batters get hit in the face with baseballs but you don't see anyone making baseballs softer, they just make bats like plastic so we have to keep wasting money. Pathetic. I'm laying out any pitcher that hits me with a pitch.
I would like to see them do another episode like this with the new composites that have came out because some of them are just insane. The new ones also are balanced to be so light-feeling that people get high swing speed and crush the ball anyways.
In high school I used to use the Easton Connextion. Scandium alloy. These bats were freaking amazing with a huge sweet spot. Ahhh....those were the days.
BBCOR helped me out so much this season! i hit at least 10 fly balls to the track, and i got hit with a comebacker when i was pitching, and thanks to BBCOR, it STILL broke my shin! thanks to the NCAA for imposing these life saving rules
Yeah but I've played baseball my whole life and I've only ever seen 3 wood bats break and I'm 26 you have to be a big leaguer to consistently break them
Metal bats, however, don't break unexpectedly. LAst night a guy on my team believed his wood bat was invincible, one pitch later, it breaks at the handle and nearly stabs the guy on deck in the face. Believe it or not, BBCOR bats are mainly used for protection for everyone on the field.
i just bought a combat backbone wich is half composite half wooden. it has a composite handle similar to dimarini and a maple barrel with a composite sleeve running through the barrel. cant wait to use it and its bbcor certified.
I got a wood one for BP and A CF5 for games and it helps tremendously. I still hit a shot back at a pitcher a broke his nose so i'm pretty sure they are almost as powerful as BESR bats because I'm scrawny and not a power hitter by any means.
bbcor shows your true power, besr bats take an average hitter and make him raw by creating great pop, so in conclusion, if you have raw power than bbcor should be no problem for you
Couldn't agree more, man. Great thing about baseball, anybody can beat anybody on any given day. You can play your best as a team and still lose on some days, and some days you can play awful and still win. Football (prime example), you can overpower another team and beat them all day long. Baseball, you have to show up to play in order to win. You have a great day as well!
To be honest, I much prefer BBCOR over BESR. The possiblity of being hit was incredibly high as a pitcher. Also, the sound of a BBCOR bat is much preferred over BESR
He just never had a shot hit back up the middle. In all my years of pitching, I never had a ball hit up the middle that I couldn't react quick enough because EVERYTIME it was either off the handle or the end of the bat. Lucky for me, I never had to protect my face due to a 100 mph rocket.
Love the science behind this, though the explanation of "why" could've been a little more in-depth. It's not completely about "dumbing down" metal bats, so much as bringing them in line with wood so that record-setting, player performance and winning vs. losing aren't questions of technology, but talent. (Sorry for the personal plug, but if you want to read more about this, we've got a bit more on it here: www.viperbats.com/why-swing-wood.php. )
Depends, get one 300$ BBCOR for a season or a couple maple bats for maybe $60-$80 each, maple isn't exactly easy to break, and even if you did manage to break one it wouldn't be that often.
I personally like BBCOR. Sure it was fun to be able to crush a ball with a BESR, but anybody could with those bats. BBCOR allows good hitters to show that they can hit in the gaps and find holes in the field. With a BESR you could just throw your hands at a ball and hit a rocket. If you can hit, it shouldn't matter much.
legs actually. Everything in baseball works together but the most power comes from staying back with your legs. Try not staying back and hitting it with all arms and hips it won't go anywhere. But i know a guy on my team who barely rotates his hips when he swings and he can bomb it.
I used wood in HS every chance I got even joined wood leagues, only batted aluminum for regular games and after practicing so much with wood you start to not wanna deal with metal again. I never understood why we didnt use wood bats for everything? They have wooden bats for all ages and sizes.
Last season I played we had to use BBCOR, I didn't mind it all that much considering I use wood all the time in between seasons. If you are gonna use BBCOR - mine as well use wood, not a huge difference. Plus you can truly learn to hit with wood. From a pitching standpoint though, I had another reason why I didnt mind BBCOR lol. The only time i used BESR last season was during our practice Home Run Derby haha, good times.
In little league and high school they should just use all wooden bats Idk why they say that's a safety hazard if the bat breaks because it's not like they can even throw it that hard to break the bat do yeah
I'm 3 and I use a piece of rope as a bat because i was hitting rockets and hurting pitchers and infielders with a wiffel ball bat and the league made me switch.
@volcompro180 I've hit a good amount of homeruns I'm 14. But that's true, you don't see alot of homeruns being hit by 14u players, but there are some kids that can.
OK FOR EVERYONE WHO IS DOUBTFUL ABOUT BBCOR BATS. THEY WONT BREAK UNLESS YOU GO HIT YELLOW CAGE MACHINE BALLS. THATS HOW I BROKE MINE, AND MINE STILL HAS A LOT OF POP. AND THE EXO SEEMS TO STILL HAVE A BIG SWEET SPOT. GET THAT BAT.
I'm really happy about bbcor bats. Sure, there wont be as many home runs. But who cares? You have to get good hard line drive hits, no more pop ups to the warning track and outta the park! Last year i hit one about 330 ground rule double (fences were far as shit) when i did a two strike protective swing. I even admit thats not fair. Its very simple: earn your hits, and you wont be able to tell the difference
A 20mph bat hitting your head sounds impressive until you realize that Mike Trout swings a bat 5x as hard, and to be a major leaguer, you need to swing it at least 4x as hard.
Why does everybody hate bbcor bats? If people would break in they're bats before using them in games, they would realize they're pretty much the same as BESR bats. My Demarini voodoo has as much or more pop than my old besr voodoo. Bottom line: its not the bat, its the batter so stop complaining.
says who? unless you're talking about louis ville youth training wood bats that go for 30 bucks each a real wood bat fit for game will run you 80+ and thos will last 4-10 games a soo in a season youll spend more than on a BBCOR and the BBCOR will last multiple seasons...
not always, bbcor bats take a lot to break in and become dead and/or break faster. my old bat sounds and looks like I hit home run but the ball dies halfway. while my new bat is still too new and does about the same thing, while my friend's broken in bat goes over. protecting the pitchers is a stupid excise rn because they are still getting hit by 90+ mph balls.
I hardly even feel the difference . If you swing with your hips and follow through the bat should matter. I swing with a wood bat in the cages. I use a Marucci CAT 5
Shut up about how "bad" the BBCOR bats are. These bat have less pop then the BESR bats and it makes the game be played right. People are focusing less on hitting homeruns and more on hitting for average. Yesterday I hit a 375 foot homerun with a BBCOR bat but I had never hit one with a BESR bat. Its all about your swing not the bat. And for it being a stupid rule, I got hit with a liner off a besr bat and it broke my jaw. Got the same thing with a BBCOR just a bruise and a cut. Quit complaining.
here, ill say it...i love bbcor. it seperates the great hitters from the hitters who got lucky. granted, i love my besr bat, and i would switch back to besr in a heartbeat. but i love how bbcor has made players and teams adapt to a "small ball" type of game. i love it. i may be alone, but i love bbcor.
The reason that we have BBCOR isn't just for protection, it's to bring back the game of baseball the way it's supposed to be played. The runs scored in a college game were way to high with the old bats and it took the art of small ball out of the game. Notice how much more small ball was played in college games this year with the new bats? In the long run it will actually help players make the transition from high school and college to the pros.
Very true, but ultimately, switching to a bat that has less pop shouldn't determine the outcome of a game. It'll still come down to who's the better team that day. Pretty much every sport out there is a game of adjustments, and if you can't adjust (if they put in a slower pitcher or a faster pitcher, or give you a bat with less pop, or a bigger/smaller glove, the umpire stretches his strike zone, etc.) then you probably won't pull out. Regardless, it comes down to the player, not equipment.
i like the idea of player safety with the new bats. although it won't be as fun to hit with these, i like the idea that we will now see who has the true baseball skills with a smaller sweet spot, etc.
Agreed, what I feel is that every single thing can determine the outcome of the game, it's not just always 1 thing in particular, but everything put together. Aside from all the things that can change outcome, Baseball will always be a sport, which requires skill, luck, repetition, and practice. Have a great day!
This separates those who actually are good and have good technique, and those who just got lucky by making contact and watching the technology of the bat work. Those who have good technique and follow the basic fundamentals will continue to drive the ball well and hit good, those who used to rely on the technology of the old bats will suffer, and it will show them for who they are.

Should just start using wood bats in college, Get them ready if they get drafted.
They should use composite most collage players don't get drafted
Kevin James they should have them in highschool, to get them ready for college
I don't think they should use them in high school most high school players don't go to collage the bbcor bats are a lot closer to wood then the besr was switching from alloy to wood bat isn't that big of a deal I don't understand why everyone act like its a big deal transitioning from the bbcor to wood just means you lose a few feet on your hit and don't get as much bad contact to fall in for a base hit as far as my overall distance I don't notice a big difference I could still get it over the fence with about 10 feet to spare but I did notice the difference in the amount of times I could get the ball out in one bp session but it's still not a big deal if you can hit you can hit changing what the bats made of won't make a big difference
redneckon2wheels it's just the dangers of aluminum bats, if it's a line drive to the pitches head, it's like +100mph with an aluminum bat. While with a wood bat, it's slower so less deadly
That's one of the reasons they switched to bbcor bbcor bats don't come off the bat faster then the 80's for you average collage guys slower for a rage high school I don't know how old you are but my dad played high school baseball in the mid 90's they used straight aluminum bats those would come off even faster then the besr did besr compared to bbcor is a huge difference I never got to hit with them in high school because the standard switched my freshman year but with the besr I was hitting just as far in 8th grade as I was in 9th
Less home runs just what fans want to see.
lol
fans don't watch fake bat baseball... WOOD ONLY
What do you mean? MLB have been using wooden bats this whole time
Juan Aldaco he is talking about high school and college
Stop hitting so hard, somebody could get hurt. Next it will be "stop throwing so hard"
no next they will have to throw underhanded behind a net
Mason Divine fr like its baseball you shouldn't be on the field if ur not capable of reacting quick enough
Mason Divine No. It just brings these metal bats in line with wooden bats.
You guys obviously don’t have a son who pitches. My son is 11 and is one of the better pitchers in his age group.

BBCOR Explained: Pitchers Benefit
lol
Pitchers are pussies. They should wear helmets if they are that worried about it. Batters get hit in the face with baseballs but you don't see anyone making baseballs softer, they just make bats like plastic so we have to keep wasting money. Pathetic. I'm laying out any pitcher that hits me with a pitch.
@@seheadhunter50 I dont even remember saying this LMAOOO
I would like to see them do another episode like this with the new composites that have came out because some of them are just insane. The new ones also are balanced to be so light-feeling that people get high swing speed and crush the ball anyways.

You're right.
Definitely
Yeah but I've played baseball my whole life and I've only ever seen 3 wood bats break and I'm 26 you have to be a big leaguer to consistently break them
Easton only for right now.
croteam3 I've seen all brands, the only wood bats I've seen break consistently is marucci bat but a very specific model.
I play in a league where you can still use BESR bats, makes outfield very fun to play
***** Lolol Domingo Ayala reference. What you play semi-pro?
I play Sunday League nothing wrong with that.

Yeah
bbcor shows your true power, besr bats take an average hitter and make him raw by creating great pop, so in conclusion, if you have raw power than bbcor should be no problem for you
Tommy Robinson You shouldn't be allowed to rely on bat power if you're too weak to hit long distances anyway.
Roasted
I changed my mind anyway, I like bbcor
Couldn't agree more, man. Great thing about baseball, anybody can beat anybody on any given day. You can play your best as a team and still lose on some days, and some days you can play awful and still win. Football (prime example), you can overpower another team and beat them all day long.

To be honest, I much prefer BBCOR over BESR. The possiblity of being hit was incredibly high as a pitcher. Also, the sound of a BBCOR bat is much preferred over BESR
im in 14u too at first it feels heavy if your not used to one but once you get used to it its not heavy at all.
honestly i never noticed, ive never had 400ft. power but i get hits regardless also if ur having trouble hit with wood it really helps
He just never had a shot hit back up the middle. In all my years of pitching, I never had a ball hit up the middle that I couldn't react quick enough because EVERYTIME it was either off the handle or the end of the bat. Lucky for me, I never had to protect my face due to a 100 mph rocket.

Man those old bats where fun, but now we see who can really hit.
I hope that wood bats are used everywhere instead I hit WAY BETTER with them anyway I hit 10:2 Ratio (WOOD:ALUMINUM) against the same pitcher in BP
yes but that's BP
bp is made to where you're supposed to hit the ball well... if you didn't know that then you might want to quite baseball

BBCOR bats actually make college baseball better. Instead of games being 17-14, they're more like 4-3, which is how baseball should be.
pleeeeease preach this everywhere youre doin it the way its supposed to be
some bbcor bats are full composites, but i agree
I like wood bats so much better for some reason
as a pitcher. i like bbcor bats.
COMBAT B3, DROPS BOMBS
As a batter I hate BBCOR as a pitcher though, I love BBCOR
Best bbcor is the demarini voodoo just got it!
that won't change the fact that pitchers are still going to be vulnerable. We have to use these bats and are expensive as fuck.
The only fun thing about BBCOR bats is hitting a homerun with them because at least you have bragging rights that it wasnt just the bat haha
the easton s2 is good for BBCOR
That 80 mph ball wouldve been 95+ with a besr. They have changed it, I still think you get more pop out of wood
hay the first thing he is not hitting it right, you have to hit it out in front

BBCOR demarini voodoo is actually a great bat. But most BBCORs suck so I'm getting a woody. Time to stock up on pine tar and athletic tape. You bet
I miss the old BESR bats, but if you are looking for a good BBCOR bat then you should take a look at bestbbcor . com
Who else’s here in 2020
I don’t give a fuck about the opponents safety. Give me my dingers back
Not when you have to keep getting a new bat due to the bat breaking.
Best. Thing Every body shall use wood baseball bats and show what you got. .......
@coolguyinthe562 They tried but I guess the bat companys sued them because of all the money they would loose.
What if you weren't using a bat?
if you complain about bbcor its probably because you arent strong enough to hit bombs with the new bats hit the weight room
Read the second sentence of my post. USE COMPOSITE BATS. They hardly ever break.
the New bat was BBCOR. the Old was wood. Not fair
I miss the old bats so much fun lol
here, ill say it...i love bbcor. it seperates the great hitters from the hitters who got lucky. granted, i love my besr bat, and i would switch back to besr in a heartbeat. but i love how bbcor has made players and teams adapt to a "small ball" type of game. i love it. i may be alone, but i love bbcor.
After 9 years. You have gotten a response
Happy double digits
Wood bats become expensive as you break them. Id rather swing wood but bbcor is a good alternative. The regular metal bats are way overpowered.
i say all leagues from high school on up should use wood but that just my opinion
Nah that’s dumb. Or else batting averages would drop and players don’t want that. BBC is perfect
@@fuhrfhrei3441 thats kinda sus
Why do middle schoolers have to use it then!?!
They don’t
I got a bbcor bat and I hit a no doubt 268 footer but with my other big barrel I hit another one 282 so there's the difference
Pussy hit dingers
ahh remember the good old days with besr and the original stealths those days were the shit
have fun buying a new one every few weeks :/
The reason that we have BBCOR isn't just for protection, it's to bring back the game of baseball the way it's supposed to be played. The runs scored in a college game were way to high with the old bats and it took the art of small ball out of the game.

Very true, but ultimately, switching to a bat that has less pop shouldn't determine the outcome of a game. It'll still come down to who's the better team that day.

I own a Marucci Cat 5 BBCOR...i love it
@KaTuM11 Because you will go through five or six wood bats in a season, and can used the composite again next year.
@ChaseandGavin Over time, the more you hit it, the harder it gets (thats every metal). it might come close, but it wont match BESR
BESR all the way!
My favorite wood bat cost 26.99 and ive hit far better with it than last season with my friends 150 dollar composite bat
I am not going to lie i have the 09 imx and i hit bombs and i am a line drive hitter i am happy for safty
