“Going Yard” Bat Blog

A North Dakota high school league that had decided to use wood bats exclusively a few years ago has reversed direction and has unanimously voted to allow aluminum bats in Class B competition for the 2011-12 season.

The initial decision to ban aluminum bats in 2007 was driven by safety concerns – concerns that have been allayed by the power-reduction inherent in BBCOR-rated aluminum bats.

This move conforms to standards adopted by the National Federation of High School Associations and the NCAA.
