[QUOTE="FittedJacket, post: 939839, member: 5331"] This is illegal. Essentially bat rolling is the artificial process of thinning the ”walls” of a bat so as to create more of a “trampoline“ effect when the ball collides with the bat. It also affects the “PSI” of a bat. This is why Tennessee was scrutinized when one of their bats had a sticker that fell off while a batter was in the batters box. Each team has a machine that tests the other teams bat prior to a series starting and places a “sticker” on the tested bat certifying that it was within the proper “PSI” ranges. From experience you would basically need a razor blade to get a sticker off of a bat making it highly unlikely it would just fall off from normal use. You can read about the UT bat incident online. Essentially the NCAA doesn’t care. Rolling a bat does make it weaker and especially in cold weather (under 60 degrees) makes it more susceptible to actually breaking. A properly ”rolled“ bat could increase a “Batted“ balls‘ distance around an additional 25 feet. My disclaimer is I’m not an engineer like some of you 🤣 And this is a cursory answer. [/QUOTE]
