What is a bat?

Batting cages are places where you go to practice your batting. They have a machine that will pitch the ball for you, and you stand there with a baseball bat and swing at the pitches, to see how many / how well you can hit. A batting cage is normally an enclosed cage where baseball players can practice their batting skills. The batter stands at one end of the cage and a pitching machine is at the other end. Sometimes when there is no pitching machine available a human pitcher will take its place, although this does not happen often. The pitching machine will then pitch baseballs to the batter, who attempts to hit them. The pitching machine can be set to various levels of speed depending on the skill of the batter, or the type of pitch they wish to practice hitting. These speeds normally rage from around 30 to 90 miles per hour. The purpose of the cage is to keep the baseballs within a certain range, so they are not lost and can be retrieved easily. Batting within an enclosed space also means that there is less chance of stay balls hurting others who might be nearby. The batting cages are often found indoors or where space is limited, as they take up little room. In some cases the pitching machine may be completely automatic. In these cases, the flooring of a batting cage is often slightly sloped. This means that the balls roll back to the pitching machine and are automatically fed back into it, ready to be pitched again. These automatic pitching machines normally pitch out synthetic baseballs or softballs, as opposed to official leather-clad balls.

corking makes the bat lighter so you can swing it faster therefore generating greater speed at the point of impact with the ball, transferring more speed to the ball as it leaves the bat, causing the ball to fly further (provided you don't break the bat and look like a fool - corking a bat weakens the bat as well as making it lighter).

Swing it in live batting practice. Just hitting of a tee will help, but you will never know for sure until you hit live pitching. But definitely try it out in practice, not in a game.

You want to be able to have good bat speed, but a bat too light will not provide much power.
