Hi Everyone... I would like to get some thoughts on the use of high performance bats, specifically composite bats for girls playing in 10U divisions when the pitching distance is 35 feet. This has become a big debate in my town as we have had a few pitchers take line drives to the face do to the fact that they don't have time to react, by the time they release the ball and the velocity the ball is coming off these bats. Luckily, last year we instituted a rule that all pitchers in 10U leagues wear a face mask. Although the last pitcher that recently got hit had her mask broken into two, received a concussion & two black eyes.
I appreciate any information you can share with me on how everyone else is handling this issue.. & if there is any scientific data that demonstrates the difference between a composite bat & aluminum bat....Thank you.
