In the bigs, a ball can come off the bat at 90+mph. An aluminum bat could add up to 20(!)mph to that!

With wooden bats, big league batters can hit the ball at up to 120+ mph (exit speed). So add 20 mph to that if they used aluminum.

Aluminum bats are dangerous enough that they’ll likely be replaced by closely controlled composites even down to Little League.
