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.
