Was it wood?

Yeah ok so why was it legal 1 year and not the next....what is the spec they changed?

i wouldn't consider it as cheating for he isn't gaining a competitive edge. it's breaking a rule for safety issues.

The barrel diameter of the bat was made smaller is what I read, if you were a player when they changed it you were grandfathered in
