College "Bat"Ball CWS 2010


Mars said to MJ "Its gotta be the Shoes", now with the TCU win in the College World Series the last 5 teams in a row sponsored by Easton have won so... "Its gotta be the Bats".


This strikes the debate as to whether or not one bat vs another is going to provide a competitive edge in College Baseball.  No other single piece of equipment in sports can be chosen specifically by the teams.  You have Easton, Louisville Slugger, Nike, DeMarini as the main players in the College Baseball Bat provider battle.  Personally I have used each brand and the main noted difference to me is how the weight is distributed: some are top heavy, while others more balanced.  The weights and barrel size all have to fit the uniform standard as do the composites of materials used in the bat construction.  We here at the Four6Three will keep a close eye on this matter to hopefully let you know what company you want if you are planning on winning next year!


(As a side not when teams decide to go with Nike, and Easton they usually are then provided with gloves by the companies but that is a matter to be investigated another day.)
