Without reading I would surmise the mass is concentrated at a single point. Less contact, less absorption of kinetic energy.

More mass centered in the sweet spot MAY produce more home runs for the power hitters. However, the reduction of mass between the sweet spot and the end of the bat will result in less energy applied to the ball when hit in that area of the bat.

This bat is unlikely to be used by the high average base hitters due to their relying on the entire barrel length for their hits.......

Don't rule out aerodynamics. A cylinder has more aerodynamic drag than a modified ellipsoid.

Batters gain more by increasing the speed of their swing than they can by increasing the weight of the bat.
