There are many reasons, but primarily because it takes a lot more talent to be able to hit with a wood bat than a metal. If the professionals used metal bats, the home run rate would skyrocket, not to mention the enhanced danger to the pitchers, who already must have a superb reaction time to avoid being hit by line drives hit back at them.

It is also just untraditional. Mjor League ball players have used wood bats since the day the game began. Using metal would take away everything Baseball stands for. People love to hear the crack of the bat.

Ballparks would have to be renovated and made bigger to balance out the homeruns, making the fans sit further from the action.

A lot more players can hit well with metal bats than can those that hit well with wood. The talent level would drop and make the game much different.
