Aluminum Bats

Aluminum Baseball Bats were first introduced in 1970 by Worth, and over the past 30 + years have become far more popular than wood bats. Although they don’t provide the traditional “crack” of the bat, there is no doubt that aluminum bats are a more potent weapon for players.

The main advantages of aluminum bats, is that they are lighter than wood bats (and can therefore generate more bat speed and power), they provide more “pop” and that they last longer – aluminum baseball bats don’t break like wood bats (although many of the new high end aluminum bats dent, crack or lose their power after a season or even less). Aluminum baseball bats range in price from $30 for a basic bat to the $300 price range for highly-engineered top of the line bats.
