Why is the NCAA banning composite bats?

The NCAA is banning composite bats to enhance player safety and maintain the integrity of the game. Composite bats have been shown to produce higher exit velocities, which can increase the risk of injury to pitchers and infielders. Additionally, the ban aims to create a more level playing field and ensure that the game remains challenging and competitive. By transitioning to wood or non-composite bats, the NCAA hopes to promote traditional Baseball values and skills.
