Is There A Viable Solution To This Problem?
This safety device has passed 2 sets of tests, conducted in 3 phases, by MLB’s research facilities at Lowell/UMASS in 2008 & 2009 with a 100% success rate in eliminating flying debris from hurting players and spectators. It has also proven itself effective against all hinging and tethering that causes the baseball bat to come around and hurt the umpire, catcher and the batter. Many umpires and batters have already been seriously hurt and injured because of tethering and hinging of solid wood baseball bats. 















Will MLB & Baseball Bat Manufacturers Use It?
We are hopeful that the Tyler Colvin incident will cause MLB and bat manufacturers to take a proactive approach towards using this product at all levels. The Bat Safety System does not promote itself to be 100% effective in all multi-piece failures, especially in failures that occur beyond the region the tape is applied, but it has a proven track record of drastically reducing the amount of flying projectiles that hurt and injure players and spectators as outlined in the December 15, 2009 Lowell/UMASS Report. 

The MLB Certified Baseball Research Center at Lowell/UMASS states that “its use could significantly reduce the number of multi-piece bat failures when applied to maple bats.”http://www.batglove.com/Solution.htmlhttp://batglove.com/LowellReport.pdfhttp://batglove.com/LowellReport.pdfhttp://batglove.com/LowellReport.pdfhttp://batglove.com/LowellReport.pdfhttp://batglove.com/LowellReport.pdfshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3shapeimage_3_link_4shapeimage_3_link_5
