He is saying that to supply high school kids with enough bats to get through a year would take up too much money and it wouldn't be worth it for schools to change over. Regardless of the level wood bats get broke and broke often..

Thank you, JRS. I figured that everyone would know that by starting each year by Feb. 15 and finishing somewhere around the neighborhood of June 10, that the number of bats that each school will have to purchase could possibly be astronomical. The price of a good wood bat can vary anywhere from like $65 - $110 and, since it is wood, the bats will break and need to be replaced. Also, each person has a different feel with wood. Someone might want a narrower handle and need to sand it down or something....then that means players can't share bats and the number will continue to rise. Like I said, it's a nice thought but just not very economical.
