We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Idk what would motivate officials to take a peek into one of their bats. But it would ruin a $500 bat

true but they have machines that can test the trampoline effect off the bat. thats what my softball league uses. if it is under a certain number, it fails and can't be used.

simple. test the bats, if one fails it is confiscated for the tournament and the team gets it back once they are done
They should do it. But what would keep swapping from going on in the dugout. All the bats they are using look the same.
Test the bats and put a tamper-proof sticker on the but of the bats that pass before the game. If it's altered at any point, or an unapproved bat is used, the game is over by forfeit. No more cheating.

But, I still like my first fix. Go with wood.
That would work. But they would constantly need to change the sticker for each games. Or guys would collect them and still cheat. Cheaters always try to find a way.

And I still like the first solution of wood too

Test the bats, if it is illegal then drill a 3/4" hole in the barrel to make it useless
