If you notice the new roster is not the only challenge facing the Marauders this season. They are batting with Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) certified bats instead of the aluminum of past seasons.
“We are getting adjusted to them; they just don’t perform the same,”
“We all are getting adjusted,” said Marauders coach John Livermont.
This comes from a change issued by the NCAA during the post season following an injury to High School athlete that was hit by a ball from a “metal” bat.
In a telephone conversation with the President of Coaches Association, Mr. Paul Moore he claims that the changes had nothing to do with the incident of Marin County.
“This issue (changing bat regulations) was on the table since 2008,” Said Mr. Moore “We wanted bats to feel and perform as wood bats do,”
