VERY EASY BASEBALL

How are they dried, what type of lathe is used, how to replicate differant models.

Bats are made from hardwoods, generally ash, but sometimes birch, hickory, or maple. The wood is put in a giant oven called a kiln and heated for a number of hours until the moisture is around 6%. The peices of wood are cut to size and put on a duplicating lathe. These lathes use a template to cut the same demensions every time. The bat is then finished and heat stamped or laser engraved with the label.

I would also like to know the proper technique of the holders.
The kick I would want to perform is a side roundhouse kick.
Wel… Obviously the wooden ones… LOL!
But I think people probably use a weaker kind or even bake the bat to make it break more easily.

Those bats are made from weaker woods meant for breaking. According to a wood supplier, they are made from the core of pinetree. They are very weak and they break with a loud crisp sound. Perfect for showing off.

I know people are going to say you should practice instead of worrying about the bat which is 100% true and i practice my ass off, and i just want a good reliable bat that can launch baseballs, and show me true talent.

i personally like the stealth. there are many bats out there and they r all for the most part decent bats. u should b able to use a teammates too. good luck

i am looking for a new bat and i narrowed it down to three. rawlings fusion luisville exo or the easton stealth. the stealth and fusion are both bats that bend but i dont know if that really makes a difference does it?

it makes a big difference. when it bends is creats a wip like reaction in a result of the ball bouncing off the bat at a higher speed. so i would go with the stealth. i have one and i can not only see the difference but feel the difference also.

Thought i would give this a try. I have 2 fullsized baseball bats that are autographed. I have one that i got signed at a tigers game 15 years ago signed by ken griffey jr. The other is signed by willie mays and i have a COA from scoreboard for that. email me if your interested at adamjohn6877@yahoo.com
email is wrong up there its adamjohnson6877@yahoo.com

i have a bunch of baseball bats that i dont use. i have a 2006 stealth 31-20, a 2008 stealth 32-23 and a 2009 titan 33-30. i was thinking about giving them to my school or selling them. what should i do? and how much wouldi get for them separate and together? all of the bats are in good condition with a decent amount of pop left.

if you have previously used them then they should be about 100-50 off there original price…try craigslist

I know x-bats will sell bats up to 35". I know that some major league players have bats in the 36-38 inch range. The largest you can ever find in stores is 34" and I am strong enough to swing probably up to 37"/34 oz (I can swing a 34" weighted up to 34 oz no problem). Does anyone know of a place where you can buy wooden bats over 35"?

Boy where you asking for it. I was thinking www.pfizer.com, but that would just make your bat harder for more games.

How about a local woodworking shop? They could throw a hunk of wood on a lathe and make it for you. Or Call Louisville Slugger and ask them if they could custom make one (probably charge you a ton) or if they don’t they may guide you to some one who can.

i was just curious…out of all the players throughout all of the mlb how many bats do they go through in one season? like a total number for the entire mlb. i dont need an exact number just something close.

What a question!! Well, player’s won’t change bats just because they break, they will "sacrifice" them to the baseball gods when needed, mainly because of a slump (I have seen it done and done it myself). But on average, a player will get the most out of a bat after about 40-60 contacts. The average number of at bats for each team in the MLB last season was 5557. So, lets do some crazy math.

5000 AB per team X 30 teams= 150,000 AB
150,000AB/ 40 or 60 contact= 3750 to 2500

So, to answer you question, between 2500 and 3750 bats… If you want to get more in depth, think about batting practice and other practice scenarios.
