As a kid, my all-time favorite Christmas present was a Gen-1x baseball bat. It was my first -3 bat, and promised a new metal alloy that would help me hit harder. Talk about sparking the imagination!
Without question, one of the high points of childhood was going out and trying to make that bat pop.
A lot of long-term baseball fans “get it” when it comes to creative tech in the game and it’s fun to see something new with bats.
The only thing I want to point out is that baseball (and all big sports) have always been a technological arms race and always will be. It’s just part of it.
