The answer may vary depending on who you ask, but it all depends on what you do. Some people swear by aluminum bats, saying that because they can swing faster, the ball will go further. Other people, including me, prefer a wooden bat. With wooden bats, you have to put a bit of oomph behind the swing, but it still can go just as far as aluminum.

This question is very common based on the fact that major leaguers use wood, not aluminum. The reason why this is is because aluminum bats make the ball come off faster than with wood, and the players need every milisecond to react to the ball.

Why is a baseball bat a lever?

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.


Does a hit and run count an at bat?

No, a hit and run does not count as an official at-bat for the player who is at the plate if the batter does not make contact with the ball. If the batter swings and misses or if the ball is not put in play, it is typically considered a strike, and the at-bat is recorded. However, if the batter makes contact and the ball is put into play, it counts as an at-bat regardless of the outcome of the play.

Does a corked bat help the power of the hit?

corking makes the bat lighter so you can swing it faster therefore generating greater speed at the point of impact with the ball, transferring more speed to the ball as it leaves the bat, causing the ball to fly further (provided you don't break the bat and look like a fool - corking a bat weakens the bat as well as making it lighter).


What happens to a ball when a girl hits it with a bat?

When a girl hits a ball with a bat, the bat transfers kinetic energy to the ball, causing it to accelerate and move in the direction of the hit. The impact also creates a force that can cause the ball to spin, depending on how the bat makes contact. The speed and distance the ball travels will depend on factors like the force of the swing, the angle of impact, and the type of ball being used. As a result, the ball typically flies away from the point of contact at a high speed.
