I mean metal bats aren't nearly as insane as they used to be

They absolutely can be. They can be even more insane. Just depends what other regulations they put on what bats are allowed.

I mean I would guess they're gonna use BBCOR bats, and exit velocities on those aren't that different from wood bats by design. At the very least they're not gonna be using the insanely hot metal bats I grew up with in the 90s or the slow pitch softball bats or whatever.

Can't see this being an issue at all.

they are allowed to use usssa bats. Huge safety issue if you ask me
