Wooden Bat, Maple Bat｜North American Maple Bat All 10 Models・Introduction of 20 Types-4

Adaptation to the required wooden bat

In Japan, metal bats are used until high school baseball, but this is limited to Japan. In international games, even high school students use wooden bats. Of course, wooden bats were used in the U18 Baseball World Cup held in 2017.

If a player who uses only metal bat suddenly gets a wooden bat from his usual practice, he cannot keep up with the difference and there are many players who cannot do the usual batting. The difference between metal bats and wooden bats has been introduced many times in this web magazine, so I won't go into the details here, but even Kiyomiya has a hard time adapting to wooden bats. You're right.

It is very important to start training wooden bats, especially bamboo bats in youth baseball. And if you want to proceed to college baseball or adult baseball, finally shift to the [Ippongi] bat.

*[Ippongi] bats are bats that are cut out from a single tree, not "bats that are laminated together" such as bamboo bats and ramie bats. Only single wooden bats can be used in college and professional baseball.
