There any many different reasons players go through bats. The first being obviously breaking the bat. Secondly, some players are streak hitters, meaning they stick with the same bat during the streak, and switch once the streak has ended. A lot of players switch bats frequently based on make on model to find the bat the fits them best. Some players use as little as 30 bats during the course of a year, others can rotate thru hundreds of bats through the course of the year.
If you are talking about a minor or major league team, they go thru thousands of wood bats per year. Not just broken bats being the reason, but a lot of players are very picky and streaky when it comes to their bat of choice.
Yes, a 10-year-old can use a wood bat, but it's important to consider the child's size, strength, and skill level. Many youth leagues have specific regulations regarding bat materials and sizes, so it's essential to check those rules. Additionally, wood bats can be heavier and less forgiving than aluminum bats, so proper technique and practice are crucial for effective use.
It is a cost issue. Metal bats last longer than wood bats, so over time it cost less than replacing a lot of bats each year due to breakage. Even if college players supplied their own bats, it would be too expensive to go through 5-6 bats in a year.
