A study co-written by Thayer School of Engineering professor Richard Greenwald was used as evidence in New York City's recent decision to disallow the use of metal bats at high school baseball games. The ban, which the City Council passed last month over a veto by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was supported by those claiming that the higher swing speeds and increased flexibility of metal bats result in dangerous ball trajectories. Although his 2002 study did show that the metal bats performed better and resulted in faster moving balls, Greenwald told the Washington Post that more research on the issue is needed to prove that the bats pose a safety risk. Greenwald currently also serves as the executive director of the National Institute for Sports Science and Safety.
