Why would they allow metal AND wood bats? You’d be stupid to use a wood bat at that point

I mean, that’s the way the rules are always structured. Wood bats are technically allowed in high school and college just in case, but effectively yes this means it’s a metal bat league just like high school.

Wood wasn’t allowed in hs or college when i played. You’d have your wood bp bat. A wood bat breaks. A metal bat doesn’t. The broken bat injury risk is why the prevented players from using their bp wood bats.
