What effect does the density of a bat have on the distance that you can hit a ball?

The more dense a bat is, the more harder it is. The harder the bat the less amount of energy is absorbed so the ball will go farther.
Main point:
Bat more dense- farther hit
Bat less dense- shorter hit

Why can you hit a ball harder with an metal bat?
Metal bats are hollow and have thin walls that produce a trampoline effect that propels the ball off the bat. Imagine dropping a ball on a trampoline. That rebound effect is what occurs at impact and it helps accelerate the ball with greater velocity than you would get with a wood bat. The sweet spot is also much larger on a metal bat.
