BBCOR Bats are now mandatory for every high school baseball player in the country.If you are playing on a ninety foot diamond you will be required to swing a BBCOR certified baseball bat. The BBCOR baseball bat certification took affect this past year at the college level and has now for all players. There is a major difference in the balance and weight distribution as well as performance from the past BESR certified bats. Your local leagues and tournaments in order to avoid insurance issues will follow suit and require you to swing a BBCOR if you they NFHS rules. The reasoning is a simple one for the change, that answer is safety. The BBCOR bat will perform a lot closer to a wood bat than of one of the old Besr bats. With up to a 12 percent decrease in performance your home runs can be fly ball outs and your gappers can now become singles. Most of the home runs hit were a result of the BESR style bats having more pop and roughly two inches more of a sweet spot.  On the other hand, while watching the ball go over the wall  puts fans in the seats the older bats unfortunately resulted in more injuries. Now it is time to get back to real baseball without technology deciding the outcome   This makes it even more important to choose the right bat .Take a look the large selection of BBCOR bats in this section FEATURED BBCOR Bats - DEMARINI WTDXVDC-12 - VOODOO BBCOR - LOUISVILLE SLUGGER BB12EX2 EXOGRID 2 BBCOR MODEL
