What wood is used to make baseball bats? |
Wooden baseball bats are made from white ash (Fraxinus Americana). This wood is ideal for producing bats because it is tough and light, and can thus help drive a ball a great distance. A tree roughly 75 years old and 15.7 inches (40 centimeters) in diameter can produce approximately 60 bats.
