Is there an advantage of using pine tar to the barrel of a bat?
Pine tar is a sticky substance. Pro baseball players frequently apply pine tar to the handle of their bats because the bats are made entirely of wood, which is very slippery.

However, some people think that applying pine tar to the barrel of a bat changes its interaction with the ball in flight. A stickier bat is more likely to make solid contact, and thus result in more hits.
