The answer is the heaviest bat you can swing without your swing substantially slowing down. This is because at the same velocity an object with a larger mass will have a larger effect

From a physics standpoint, the velocity of your bat is the biggest contributor to kinetic energy (Energy=1/2*mass*velocity^2), meaning a slightly lighter bat that you can swing faster (because it takes less energy to swing it the same speed as a heavier bat) is more effective than a heavier bat you’re swinging slower. There’s a point of diminishing returns, though, as there will come a point that even if you go lighter with the bat, you realistically cannot swing the bat faster. (I have no clue what I’m talking about)

Composite or Aluminum bats will typically hit harder just because of the material. But for the most part heavier bats will always hit harder.

@zakariamedjiba8517

kinetic energy from the bat is what causes the ball to change in speeds, so whatever bat is the heaviest you can swing without substantially slowing down

The heaviest you can swing before your swing speed starts dropping noticeable is what hits the hardest

not that much higher. Probably max of 107mph. upper echelon mlb players have an exit velo of 115-120mph. they are much bigger than him

There are studies on this; the answer is "the heaviest bat you can swing without sacrificing swing speed". Given that you also want good control over the bat, the best choice is probably to go just a bit lighter than that.

The data was roughly linear so i did this I excluded the wood bat's for this test By putting all of the values into a graph it looks roughly linear so we just gotta roll with it and we get a lsrl line of y=87.74510466+0.3879810939*x with an r squared value of 0.824337881 and this tells us that 82.4% of the variation in the data is accounted for (that means the data is pretty good). The equation I stated earlier has a coefficient of 0.3879810939 and this tells us that generally as the bat gets one ounce heavier, the ball will go 0.3879810939mph faster (If you make a confidence interval for the slope of the regression line at 98% confidence you get (0.0524, 0.7235) and this means we can estimate with 98% confidence that there is actually a positive linear trend In conclusion there is a positive trend, bigger bat = faster hit we don't have enough data for more accurate results but this is what I got.

@@landenheine7645 weight distribution, barrel material, and overall design play a huge role in this as well, probably even more than weight alone. Materially speaking, carbon fiber and resin composites, metal alloys, and wood types all have different energy transfer properties, which is why compression / rebound limits are a thing in BBCOR, U-trip, and the like. Regulations have mostly leveled the playing field (no pun intended) between materials at higher levels by limiting barrel rebound, with the barrels generally being dampened to within a given range regardless of material, ostensibly in the name of safely as well as scoring (line drives get dangerous when velos are too high). For example, USSSA bats are meant to be swung by kids who don't have the strength of adults and college players, so the bats can be more 'juiced' as kids can't swing hard enough to take full advantage of the trampoline effect anyway. When an adult swings the same composite USSSA though, they usually get much, much higher velos than they would with the BBCOR version of the same bat in a similar weight, because bat makers have to artificially dampen their BBCORs to pass certification. Something else that hasn't been mentioned is that composite bats usually increase in exit velo as they get worn in, with their max velo being achieved just before they break. Basically, they get more springy the more swings they have on them, so there's a sweet spot between longevity and exit velo that manufacturers are always trying to balance, as some customers might want a bat that's hot out of the wrapper (parents with young kids who don't swing hard enough to break in other composite bats), while others just want something that doesn't ring up their kids' hands that can last a full season without breaking.

The one with the cork in it

Swing as heavy as you can control is what the older ones use to tell us.

I’ve spent so much time researching bats cuz when u get to bbcor, it’s a huge purchase. The weight of ur bat really depends on what type of hitter you are. I am a contact hitter that like to have control over where I hit it so I went with the one piece cat x so I can sit and wait on the ball and still quickly get my hands to the ball to put it fair but push it rather than pull. Consider your approach as a hitter. Hope this helps!!!

RESULTS: 12 oz --> 90.9 mph 18 oz --> 96.0 mph 23 oz --> 97.8 mph 27 oz --> 98.9 mph 29 oz --> 98.4 mph 30 oz --> 98.2 mph 31.5 oz --> 98.7 mph 33 oz --> 94.9 mph Based on this, I think it's best to use the 23oz or 27 oz bat. With those you get near peak speed without having to use a heavier bat.

He’s hitting harder with a T-Ball bat then I have ever hit 💀

It’s crazy people can throw as fast as he is hitting

The fact that most people in the MLB use a 34 oz bat when Babe Ruth used a 44 oz bat is crazy!

The copperhead was the first bat I used in little league about 18 years ago. Forgot about it until this video, brought back so many great memories and flashbacks.

The one big Al swings

I love the way wood sounds... its sound like History...

i’m playing varsity highschool ball and i’ve always liked using slightly smaller bats than everyone else but that’s mainly because our ace was a d1 commit with some heat so i liked to be able to touch it

The inertia of the heavy bat carries it through harder

I love watching your videos, can’t wait for more

You’re very nice to include softball thanks!

Heavier the better up till the point you can't swing it. That's why Babe's bat being so long and heavy is crazy

As fun as it is to swing a metal bat that weighs nothing, few things are as satisfying as connecting beautifully with a wooden bat.

Love you man I love baseball too and I love your work thanks for all you do

Love the vids keep it up

23 ounce made the best sound I ever heard

You are helping my son a lot coachrac thank you

id love to see Rac hit a absolute dinger with like a -5 hype fire, maybe a -5 icon or something that would be tight

That jawline hits harder than that 27 ounce bat 🤫🧏‍♂️

The heavier the bat, the more velocity that travels to the ball

I play baseball and softball so it helps to watch your videos! I watch you every single day and it really does help me improve thank you coach rac.

You’re so cool bro much love! I met you in person and you were the nicest guy ever

honestly it just depends on how strong you are

ive always wondered this, thanks!

Depends on material

I love the 30-32 ounce bats for me, powerful enough to feel it but light enough i csn still hear the air when i swing

A lot of hitting is contact and letting the ball do the work, its about comfort people

Did a science experiment on this lmao. I concluded that the best was the heaviest but with same bat speed

Your my fav baseball yt

*it might be small but it has a big personality*

Bro the 31.5 sounded like a gunshot 💀

Awesome to see someone swinging the Anderson techzilla. Shit use to be a cheat code in little league

When you can hit a baseball down and it Carrie’s back up, you know you’re exit velo is fast

That first crank compared to the dings will always explain why there’s a wood bat in my house and not a metal one

Momentum = mass x velocity 🤓

The best bat to swing is the heaviest bat you can while still maintaining optimal bat speed. The idea is the higjest amount of inertia is ideal...transfer as much energy into the ball. Think mass x accelration, so the highest you can get both of those variables

I keep hearing that ding sound that is starting to drive me crazy

I love yr vids ❤❤❤

Good example for his own swing, but it’s leaving out pitch velocity, strength, and swing path. The fact that he does better on a lighter bat shows a lot about his swing

Do wood and metal bats hit different distances?

Can you try and do with the same bats but with seeing which bat hits the farthest please? I love you videos btw ❤

It just depends on how you hit

This could possibly be the first person I’ve seen to spin off of a middle middle tee pitch😂

Bros jawline is sharper than a razor

Great job 👏

You should go heavy to light if you were to do it again. I think fatigue would set in after all the swings building up to the heavier bats. It would be interesting to see that!

love it u make me hit dingers

Does this work against balls that way about 150-200 lb? For a friend

It rally depends on who batter is and which bat they feel the most comfortable with

Could you rate the USA f5 marucci bat please

Anderson! Yes!

Based on my calculations, I just need a 360oz bat for guarenteed dingers

I always go for the bat that costs over $450. The more you spend, the more motivation to make it worth buying 😅

Coachrac how hard does a 19 ounce 2 piece composite hit?

you should make a vid of just some drills you can do the go from a drop 8 bat to a drop 5.

Mass Moves Mass

My theory is you'll get the most results out of the heaviest bat you can swing the fastest. Any bat too heavy to swing as fast as you can consistently swing will have less speed like the 33oz at the end.

Can you do a tut on how to properly break in a middle infield mitt?

length might also play a factor in this

Anybody remember the original Easton Black Magic?

Can you do a comparison between the weights and wood and metal

It seems though that physics play into this and if that T-ball bat was a lot longer and still 12 ounces you’d be able to swing it faster in turn getting a higher exit velocity.

From a scientific standpoint, this is not a great test. You could be getting better with each swing or or worse. But what do I know, I only took up to chemistry.

Hype fire would destroy all

Depends on your build right?

I use a 30oz I think

All swung at the same bat speed, the heaviest would produce the highest exit velo

You hit hard for a lefty compared to me as a righty

The bran Warstic is CRAZY y’all should check it out if u ain’t playin travel ball their make ones that are legal for little leagues trust me it CRAZY

I use a 31 in softball 😂

The answer is the heaviest bat you can control the barrel on and not lose swing speed. It's physics. More mass at the same speed equates to an increased force delivered at impact. However, not all bats are equal. Some are end loaded, meaning more of the bat weight is in the barrel. Others are more "balanced." My son has an Easton ADV 31 drop 8 and 2 Cat 9s, a 32 drop 8 and a 32 drop 5, all are 1 piece alloy bats. The balance point for the ADV is roughly 1 inch closer to the barrel than the CAT 9 drop 8, making the swing feel heavier than the CAT 9 drop 8 even though the CAT 9 is one ounce heavier than the ADV. Our body has a maximum speed it can "swing" a bat at, no matter how light the bat is that is being swung, like a whiffle ball bal. The only way to get a good data set would be to compare different bat weights of the same length bat from the same bat model. But as I said before, physics already tells us that the heaviest bat wins. As is evident to me when my son hits BP and the ball flies 20 plus feet further with his drop 5 vs his drop 8 using the same type of baseball.

I swing a 34 drop 10 Softball bat it’s the new Easton Ghost

you have to get the same bat just bigger every time

Perfect Perfect

Coach Rac, Do you require your JV players to wear protective cups? Why or why not?
