2010 New Bat Survey: According to the Experts

Compiled By: Austin Alexander & Joey Haug – October  16, 2010 One of the hottest topics along the college baseball landscape is that of the new bat being swung this fall, in preparation for a spring that is thought to be unlike most past seasons. A quick history lesson: In the 1990’s, a bat that allowed a -5 ounce difference between length and weight (ie 33 in, 28 oz, 2 ¾ barrel) produced legendary offense. The 1999-2009 college bat (-3 ounce drop, 2 5/8 barrel) produced trampoline exit speeds of 110-115 MPH at contact, both bats endangering pitchers and resulted in runs galore. According to most, the new rule change, headed by Vanderbilt’s Tim Corbin, will alter the college game drastically. The new bat will supposedly decrease exit speeds down to 94 MPH, comparable to a wooden bat, nearly 10-15% reduction from the speed that the ball jumps off the bat. Do the math on homerun distance and disparity is abundantly clear. But some early returns are in that some 100+ MPH exit speeds have been recorded. DP has gotten a load of questions about this topic and gotten quality feedback from a handful of coaches regarding this, so we tossed it out to the masses and have gotten a much better feel from the experts. We apologize in advance that names, schools and organizations could not be attached to the responses, Diamond Prospects had to protect their identities to avoid violations, either at the collegiate or professional level. This article is long, we’ll go ahead and acknowledge that, but equally as informative, enjoy the read. Diamond Prospects Q: How do you feel the new bats will impact the college game strategically and statistically? A Division II Head Coach said: I suspect most of us are overreacting to the change. I think we underestimate the player’s ability to adapt. Most of the college players go out and swing wood in the summer, and find a way to get a few hits and score runs. It should change the game a little with regard to strategy- which would be a good thing. I think these bats have a chance to return the game to one of skill, which might lead to a change in recruiting strategy. It would be my hope that baseball knowledge, speed, and strategy would carry a more important role. A National League Scout said: Foot speed and bat control may return to the college game as a useful weapon. Manufacturing runs will be on the college coach’s mind often. You may see players up and down the lineup learning how to sac bunt, bunt for a base hit and control the bat head for hit and run situations. Gone will be the "unlikely" source of a home run. A Division I Pitching Coach said: These new bats will change the way that teams operate offensively. Teams will play more small-ball with bunts, hit and run more, and obviously straight steal. Team ERA’s, which I feel have climbed like crazy as a whole the last few years, will come down dramatically. The batting averages will drop a little bit in my opinion but the run production will drop a great deal more than that with the number of homeruns that turn into F-7’s and F-9’s increasing.  I think that it will change pitch calling a little bit as well just watching our intra-squads. A Division II Recruiting Coordinator said: This may be confusing some people, so I would like to clear something up. These new bats are the same weight as the old ones. The only difference to my knowledge is that the weight was shifted to the end, making for a top heavy bat and the walls are thicker which is supposed to reduce the trampoline effect. We have 3 different bat models (Demarini, Nike and Rawlings) with the new specifications. We have not seen any type of drop off in exit velocities and distance. I know this is completely on the contrary of others. The new bat specifications will not have any impact on in-game strategy and statistics for us. I will say this. If our opposition has the problems that we have been hearing about the bats, holding runners as a pitching staff and having a sub 2.0 catcher are a necessity. I heard a person say that 10 homeruns will lead the nation; that statement is ridiculous. Only time will tell but there will still be teams at the 80-100 homerun mark at the end of the year. A Division I Head Coach said: There is no doubt the statistics of college baseball are going to have a significant change on both sides of the ball. Strategically it’s going to vary from team to team. There are some teams in our league and on our schedule who do not rely on power to score runs, and those teams will not make many changes. The curious thing to see will be the changes, if any, from teams who have traditionally relied on power to pace their offense. An American League Scout said: The new bats will decrease offensive numbers as a whole; certain players will continue to put up solid numbers as they are strong enough to continue hitting balls for HR/RBI type stats.  Strategically, I think it favors teams with stronger pitching/defense so the scores of games should naturally go down. A Division I Head Coach said: The new bat standards will change the game from Big Ball to Small Ball. All power numbers will see a major drop off. A Division II Head Coach said: Time will tell on this. Strategically it does not change the way we do things at all. A Division I Head Coach said: I think the bat will impact the home run numbers. I think it’ll be easier to play defense too. The positives are pitchers will be able to pitch off of their fastballs more. A Division II Recruiting Coordinator said: There will be a lot more bunting and small ball played.  …

This showcase is designed for the player who possesses the abilities to play at the collegiate level or beyond. If you think you are that caliber of player, it would strongly benefit you to attend this event! FYI, the seniors will be separated from the underclassmen. TheDiamondProspects.com provides the #1 coverage of high school baseball in the state of South Carolina. We scout more prep baseball than anyone and write articles about the teams and players we see. We also conduct interviews with the top players across the Palmetto State, past and present. Our goal is to ensure that no player in our state gets overlooked! Diamond Prospects has quickly become highly regarded among college coaches and professional scouts in the Tri-State area, many staff’s and scouts across the Carolina’s have told us that checking the site’s contents have been part of their morning routine for years! How can DP Showcases assist you? -Unmatched exposure to the top decision-makers in our area, we’ll give you the opportunity to display your talents to the people who matter! Over 100 different schools or professional clubs attended at least one of our events in the past year… -Every single South Carolina prep player that has been selected in the 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010 MLB Draft had attended a DP Event -It puts you on the radar for Diamond Prospects to further publicize you and your high school team. Following the showcase, we’ll list the top 60 and Pop times, peak velocity’s and put together a top prospect list, all of this will be posted on the website! -Many of the top traveling teams in the Carolina’s will be on hand looking for players… –Diamond Prospects will host three "invite-only" events in 2011, this showcase will ensure that you get an extended viewing in front of our staff… Understand this, it is never too early, or too late, to showcase yourself to coaches and scouts. Most colleges have a ‘follow list’ of players for each class, even freshman! Prospects are committing to schools earlier and earlier each year, make sure you don’t let this time in your life pass you by. Our last ten showcases have been full before the deadline. It will, again, be limited to the first 150 players who sign-up. If you have baseball in your future beyond high school, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity that could alter your career forever!

In Baseball, Diamond Prospects ———————————————————————————————- Bonus I: Following the morning workout, as the coaches and scouts are eating lunch, Diamond Prospects will provide you with the option of sitting in on "Recruiting 101", a crash-course on the recruiting process. We will take approximately 45 minutes to counsel you through the maze that is often very confusing for players and their families. For more information on aspects that we will cover, please go to TheDiamondProspects.com. The cost for the seminar is $25 for the entire family. Bonus II: DP will offer a scouting breakdown for players wanting more feedback following their performance at the showcase. The info will provide players with a descriptive scouting report on swing & pitching mechanics, infield actions, arm actions and future projections of the player, etc. We’ll also recommend strategies for improvement to increase the player’s stock. The cost is $50 for this information.
