Who said technological improvements to bats are out of bounds? Baseball bats have been going through all kinds of improvements for decades, especially in the aluminum market. Amatuer sports leagues typically force a certain length to weight ratio. You'll see bats marked at -7, or -5. Meaning the bat might be 30 inches long but weighs 23 or 25 ounces respectively. Keeping these ratios is about safety and fairness per certain age groups. You don't want some giant 12 year old swinging a -3 33 inch bat on a field the size they play on. That would be just dangerous. So between all the changes in what the bats are made from internally, to how thick the walls are, to how the handle is attached to the barrel, to the shape and type of the end cap, to the weight distribution... its all been improved on over the years. So I have no idea why someone would say technological improvements to bats are out of bounds.
