the metal bat
A metal bat will hit the hardest because metal is 85% stronger than a wooden 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.
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
You can use a baseball bat but it would be harder to hit the ball
the heiver the bat the harder it is to swing and hit the ball so a lighter bat will have more speed and power
Metal bats hit the ball further which is why at unprofessional levels of baseball they use metal but when you get to the MLB you have to use wood.
when it is cold the bat and the baseball get harder so the ball can not be hit as far
It makes the bat lighter without sacrificing a lot of power, which allows the hitter to bring the bat through the zone faster and hit the ball harder.
