Okay, so I agree with the whole bat pricing and I mainly just wanted to make a reccomendation for another episode. Guys are always making snide comments about how much better and harder baseball is vs. softball, and I want to prove them wrong. Sports Science has done an episode about it, but my friends argued saying “Jennie Finch never tried to hit a baseball pitcher”. I was thinking that y’all could get a baseball player to pitch to a softball hitter and vice versa to see who does better… Thanks!

ok, so a ball will travel 15 feet further with a $300 bat than a $100 bat… how would this compare to a slapper or someone who bunts? sometimes it might just appear that the $300 bat is actually better. Now I will say you might have a better warranty with a more expensive bat. Just my thoughts on the comparison.
