metal bat
Hollow hitting stick
A metal bat is a baseball or softball bat made from aluminum or alloy rather than wood.
Metal bats are standard in amateur play—Little League, high school, college—because they're more durable and forgiving than wooden bats.
They typically produce higher ball speeds off the barrel: The ball jumped off his metal bat.
Professional baseball requires wooden bats, so the transition from metal to wood challenges players moving up.
