Base Ball Bat (1 Pcs)

Product Details

Description

A baseball bat is a smooth metal club used in the sport of baseball to hit the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher. By regulation it may be not more than 2.75 inches in diameter at the thickest part and not more than 42 inches in length. A baseball bat is divided into several regions. The barrel is the thick part of the bat, where it is meant to hit the ball. The part of the barrel best for hitting the ball, according to construction and swinging style, is often called the sweet spot. The end of the barrel is called the top, end or cap of the bat. Opposite the cap, the barrel narrows until it meets the handle, which is comparatively thin, so that batters can comfortably grip the bat in their hands. Sometimes, especially on metal bats, the handle is wrapped with a rubber or tape grip. Finally, below the handle is the knob of the bat, a wider piece that keeps the bat from slipping from a batter's hands Lumber is often used slang term for a bat, especially when wielded by a particularly able batter. The bat drop of a bat is its weight, in ounces, minus its length, in inches.
