For an aluminum bat that’s not that crazy. If the major leagues used aluminum bats basically every hit would be a home run. Home run hitters would be sending balls out of the park every game.
Bro at least wear eye protection if that bat shatters hundreds of metal fragment are flying through the air if one of those gets in your eyes or trought that will cause some serious long trem damage. Stay save man❤
You work hardened the aluminum. It’s not so crazy that it broke. The aluminum is a relatively soft metal and that’s what helps the ball launch off the bat so well. When the ball is hit there’s heat built in the ball and bat from the compression and release cycles from the ball and bat slamming into each other. Those heat cycles at such close intervals is what work hardened the aluminum causing it to fail. The harder the metal the more likely it becomes that it’s going to fail by fracturing and that’s what we saw in this bat. You don’t generally see this because these bats don’t usually see work loads like this. Interesting unintentional demonstration of catastrophic failure due to greatly amplified work load.
It's composite. Composite bats need to hit 150 to 200 balls to crack interior resin. After resin is cracked the composite reacts better to the force and has a better rebound to the ball. Alloy bats don't need to be broke in
@@shadowlord0162 forget the bat coming back at you, imagine all the vibration sent through your wrists when smacking the tree that hard. Shit hurts man lol.
You do know that to extend the life of your bat, you’re supposed to turn the about 15 degrees every time you make contact!!! Because I can guarantee hit multiple balls @ those speeds is going to wear in the same spot!!!
@@Qwerty0791 I have some blacksmithing experience and it's really not so bad. You relax your arm halfway into the swing so you're not feeling the full impact like when you hit a baseball. It's constantly lifting the hammer that tires you out
Metal bats just be like that. That's why the league banned them. Kinda like the vaporflys. Equipment is becoming so efficient that skill isn't really required.
@@bradylemmon5659 I've learned that now that I'm more experienced. It was my 1st ever season of baseball, and it was the 3rd game of the season. I still can't forget the way it feels if you hit it wrong.
When I was in little league we had a college player as our assistant coach and one time he got bored and went into the bating cage and hit until the bat was completely flat
I use to break bats in half for fun until this incident happened as a teen.. long story short cops will question you when they see a broken bat and not gently lol
Since hes breaking in a bat its safe too assume its new. So why is a mew bat cracking and falling apart. Are these hits harder then youll see on the field? Cuz that doesnt make sense
If i was charged with murdered and my option was slow death or be this guys pitcher id ask for a extension on the slow part so i didn't have to hear this guy talk for 5m after every swing.
Yeah, with all the super polymers it’s hard to draw specific boundaries without the loopholes so it’s easier to just allow one. But those professional guys break wooden bats all the time
I’m almost 13 and I was using my Easton composite bat to throw it up to my self and I hit one straight to the warning track and it made a giant crack down the barrel
Usually the batting cage balls are some type of composite and heavier to last longer and destroys bats so never use a good bat at the cage use the clunkers they usually supply
Personally not a fan of the Composites bought one for my son and no matter how hard you hit it it just seems to not go anywhere compared to an alloy bat. To each is own.
