I always thought it was a Baseball term. Right off the bat means actions happen right away on contact. Runners are in motion, right off the bat. It can be applied as well to anything as soon as one action is completed, a chain of events occur too.
The maximum speed in which a softball can come off the bat at in mph. (The bat's composition or structure is designed to limit the speed of the ball off the bat to 120mph)
"Off the bat" means happening right away.
The idiom "right off the bat" means immediately or without delay, right from the start or the beginning of something. Just like a baseball is hit off the bat right away, this phrase suggests taking action or reacting promptly.
it's "off the BEATEN path" and it means to take the road less traveled.
a baseball bat is a "lever" in the way that the ball comes off the bat. When the baseball makes contact with the bat, the bat gives, or bends. What causes the ball to then travel is when the bat snaps back into a straight object. Thus, the bat is, in a way, a lever.
You take a saw and cut through the top portion of the bat. It does not matter if its wood or metal. Although you might want to post a question on how to put the bat back together if you are planning to do that later
It means I ain’t got no I tire clue
BPF is bat performance factor or the bounciness of the bat. The higher the number the more bounce a bat has which translates to the ball coming off the bat with more speed and inertia. Sanctioning bodies limit the BPF typically to a 1.20 or less.
It means back off jerk
The bat has eyes, but it's blind. It uses something called echolocation where the bat sends out rays, or sensors. Those rays bounce off of a solid object and back to the bat, so it knows whether to move out of the way or to avoid hitting the object.
Yes. Echolocation works by bouncing waves off of objects. A sound proof room would not allow sound to escape but there are still walls in the room to allow a bat's echolocation to bounce off of and back to the bat.
BPF is the Bat Performance Factor. When a bat is tested, it is fixed in a stationery position. A ball is launched at a high speed towards the barrel of the bat. When the ball bounces off of the bat, the speed is recorded to find out how much faster it goes when it comes off of the bat. That is how the BPF is calculated. If the ball comes off of the bat at the same speed, the BPF is 1.00 If the ball comes off of the bat 20% faster, the BPF is 1.20
