Doesn't VT use Mizuno CRBN bats? These bats are not . . .

. . . aluminum. They are carbon fiber as are virtually all the leading brands (Easton, Demarini). Temperature does impact the flex in these bats. In fact, you can make an argument that below 40 degrees you're better off using aluminum alloy as those bats are impacted less by temperature. That said, whatever they use yesterday seemed to have plenty of 'flex'. I wouldn't change a thing. If a bat of two gets damaged you replace them. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 3/28/2026, 8:03:23 AM

With temps in 30’s we may need to hold off from using normal bats

Bats have to meet certain specs. & are checked before each game by Umps.**

Inspection by the umps doesn't change the specs on the bats. Easton
