When hitting a softball you can hear the tink off of the bat. When you hit a Baseball you hear kind of a slap and therefore when you hit a baseball goes farther.
I just did a Science update on baseball in my labratory.I am a professional Scientist and my studies have shown that a metal bat hits farther.
baseball goes wayyyyyyy farther
Dirt
No
I think metal.
the
it depends on how hard the ball is it if you hit hard with both meta and wood wood goes farther
it all depends on how much force you put into the hit.. they both work equally
Hit your knee with a baseball bat dosnt matter wood or metal either one will do.
A metal bat hits the ball further than a wooden bat because metal is harder than wood.
Yes
Metal bats hit the ball further which is why at unprofessional levels of baseball they use metal but when you get to the MLB you have to use wood.
Studies have shown that the speed the ball travels after being hit by a metal bat is 3 to 8 miles per hour faster than a wood bat. This would translate to a ball hit for a home run travelling 20 to 50 feet further off a metal bat as opposed to a wood bat. Click on the 'Metal Bat vs Wood Bat' link on this page to read a very interesting article about these studies that were performed on the two different types of bats.
The governing bodies for various levels of baseball (high school, college, youth leagues, etc.) have set performance standards for metal bats so that, under controlled test conditions, metal bats perform nearly the same as wood bats. Therefore, given all the same conditions, a ball would travel the same distance whether hit by a metal or a wood bat. However, in an actual game, batters swing at varying speeds and other conditions may be different, as well, resulting in different distances for hit balls.
it goes farther when hit by a metal bat
metal bats hit much farther
