	Baseball bat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A baseball bat is a smooth wooden or metal rod used in the game of baseball to hit the ball after the ball is thrown by the pitcher.
		Formerly, bats were hand-carved to a template obtained from a fixed number of calibration points; today, they are machine-turned to a precise metal template: these templates are kept in the bat manufacturers' vaults; for example, Babe Ruth's template, which became understandably popular among major-league players, is B43 in the Louisville Slugger archives.
		Baseball bats may be also used as a weapon: see club (weapon).

	The Evolution of the Baseball Bat
		If a player was to grasp the bat up on the handle (choke up), he could use the shoulder in place of the knob and again enhance his grip and control.

	Halfbakery: Carbon-Fibre Baseball Bat
		Of course, in baseball, the bat would probably not be hollow.
		In cricket, the bat is swung to store kinetic energy and then some of this energy is transferred to the ball when hit.
		As the bat is the energy storage device, its weight is useful (KE = mass x square of velocity) as a useful amount of kinetic energy can be stored without having to swing the bat at the speed of sound.
