The use of aluminum bats in baseball is analogous to the use of steroids in sports. It distorts the game and not for the better.

I have no issue with younger players using aluminum bats as it does help the offensive game. However, when a player reaches the age of 14 I think it becomes very dangerous for any pitcher to face hitters with big barreled aluminum bats. I have personally witnessed a pitcher taking one in the face before he was through with his follow through. At 14 pitchers are still at a distance of 56 feet and a lot of 14 year olds look like full grown men and the reaction time is just not sufficient enough. The safety of young players and pitchers should always come first. Loved the video. I have no issue with younger players using aluminum bats as it does help the offensive game.
