Baseball Bat Performance Testing

CSEF · 2019 Product Science (Physical) (Junior Division Only)

Gabriel L. Konja · Nazareth School, San Diego, San Diego County

Overview

Objectives The objective of the my project is to test which bat hits the ball the furthest. Methods Used 4 types of bats: 1. aluminum 2. composite 3 wood 4corked A tee with a ball on it A Skilz baseball training device which I taped the bats to Results The ball went the least distance with the corked bat. The bat that outperformed all the others was the Aluminum bat. The Wood bat hit the ball a close second to the aluminum bat. Conclusions The results show that the most expensive bat does not necessarily hit the ball the furthest Kids want the most expensive composite bat, but performance wise the Aluminum and wood had better results.
