After the All-Star break, Major League Baseball is back into swing, and I’m repeating an article about bats.
Terry Bahill, an engineer at the University of Arizona wrote “Keep Your Eye on the Ball: Curveball, Knuckleballs and Fallacies of Baseball.”
He researched the amount of energy released when a bat struck a baseball.
Scientists can’t determine whether ash or maple is more effective in relation to the person swinging the bat.
Some scientists recognize a threat to the quality of the northern white ash due to decades of rising temperatures.
Bat manufacturer Rawlings says that ash, growing in the warmer southeastern states, is softer due to the longer growing season.
Tomorrow: the quality of future baseball bats.
Fastcast: Hot.
