Hundreds and even thousands of bats are used in an MLB Season. One reason for that is because of broken bats. But another reason for that is because a lot of professional hitters are very superstitious players. They will use a bat once and depending on what happens, they may never use it again.

It all depends, each team has thousands of bats. But anywhere from 9 to even 50 bats could be used in a game. Obviously bat's breaking is a reason. But another reason is because of players being streaky and superstitious bat users. Some players switch every at bat, while some stick with a bat during a streak, and try a new one as soon as the streak ends. There are unique situations where players use a different bat based on the situation as well because of the size or even whether it is a big or small barrel.
many players have a different number of bats. but I've usually seen them keep 3-4 bats in the dugout. just in case they break one.
