1) " Metal forces pitchers to "trick" the bat, always looking to pitch away from contact. The art of fastball command and pitching with one's fastball is lost, as one is not rewarded for a well-located fastball. Because of that, pitchers don't throw as many fastballs and lose arm strength. Also, leaning on secondary pitches before one is matured physically may cause more injuries. 2) Hitters learn bad fundamentals with the metal bat. The metal bat makes some sense at the youth levels but after that, really retard hitter development. The ideal is to be able to put the fat part of the bat on the ball and that is not necessary with metal. Eventually, hitters will play with wood, so the sooner, the better."
Mark Yoshino Bellevue Community College Head Coach “We are very excited when we recruit a player who comes from the Washington State Baseball League. Not only do they have the physical skill development and experience of using wood, but also more importantly, their mental confidence is high. For many players at the college level, this is the more important adjustment than the physical part.” Link Bellevue CC NWAACC Champion 2007 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"The Washington State Baseball League gives us an opportunity to evauluate many potential recruits that are very well coached. The league is very organized and the use of wood bats gives us an excellent opportunity to see which players can make the adjustment." Link to Skagti Valley CC NWAACC Runner UP 2007
Levi Lacey Head Baseball Coach Everett Community College

Steve Seki Shoreline Community CollegeHead Baseball Coach "Seeing a player compete in the Washington State Baseball League gives me a good indication of his baseball ability. The players are well coached and the teams compete at a very high level. My job becomes so much easier when we get players from the Washington State Baseball League."

“The Washington State Baseball League is great for coaches in any division, but especially for us here in the NWAACC. Evaluating a high school player in a wood bat conference gives us a much clearer indication of talent and offensive ability. I would certainly recommend high school kids and their parents take a look at playing in this league.”
