PHOTOS: Baseball Player Randal Grichuk Swings His Big Wooden Bat
Because an aluminum bat is hollow while a wood bat is solid, the weight of the aluminum bat is down toward the hands instead of out at the barrel, making it easier to generate bat speed. More swing speed = harder-hit balls.
That’s why Major League Baseball requires its players to use wooden bats — it makes the game harder to play.
But nobody needed to tell that to St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk.
From the looks of things, he’s been comfortable swinging a wooden bat for quite some time.
Head here for the very NSFW shot of Randal’s sporting equipment.
