New Answer: Really the main reason is money. A metal bat rarely breaks and can last a few seasons. Wood bats break easily and you would have to probably buy at least a dozen to last you a season of maybe 30 games.

Which bat is better to use in baseball the wood bat or aluminum bat?
Professional baseball players use wooden bats according to the rules of the game. Only non-professional players (university teams, amateurs at all levels) are free to use aluminum bats. Aluminum bats were adopted because they might save costs since, unlike wooden bats, they don't break. Due to their higher purchase price however, this is in some dispute, and some universities are moving back to using wooden bats. However, aluminum bats have two negative effects on the game itself: 1. They take away the pitcher's strategy of throwing hard inside with the goal of breaking the bat. 2. They teach players that they can hit an inside pitch easily. This means that pitchers do not have good results throwing inside. As a result, many pitchers from universities have to spend time in the minor leagues to teach them how to throw inside effectively. At first, aluminum bats produced a faster traveling ball when the ball was hit sharply, but modern aluminum bats can be tuned to almost perfectly mimic the response off of a wooden bat.
