Heated debate on Easton composite bat

by Barca Blog - Should composite bats (pictured above) be illegal in collegiate baseball? Do they provide a competitive advantage? The topic has been fiercely debated throughout the season, and came to the forefront in Vanderbilt's series against Tennessee over the weekend.

The boiling point came when UT's Cody Hawn blasted a two-run homer to the opposite field in the top of the tenth Saturday -- the final dagger in the Vols' three-game sweep of the 'Dores -- prompting head coach Tim Corbin to have the umpires look at his composite bat.

Some may see Corbin's reaction as "sour grapes" ... but having attended press conferences all year long, it's been an issue he's had a strong stance on from the beginning. Without getting into too many specifics, I'll let you listen to Corbin talk more in depth about it with the 104.5 Wake Up Zone... and you can decide for yourself.
