College baseball bats are more high-tech than the bats that the pros use. The pros, you see, are behind the times with their baseball bats. Their wood relics have been out of fashion for years. Wood makes for baseball bats that are heavier, less long lasting, and less effective than their counterparts made from aluminum.
Today s best baseball bats are to be found in the college ranks. They re made of military grade aluminum provided by corporations like Alcoa and Kaiser. And these companies keep working on this aircraft aluminum to make it stronger, thinner, lighter, and more durable.
These aluminum alloys go by their corporate trade names or numbers, and usually by brand names too. You can sometimes find that the same trade name is marketed by different bat makers by different brand names.
