    My bat is aluminum with a composite handle. I don’t think it is hollow, I just recently noticed if I shake it something inside it moves around. Makes the bat sound like a salt shaker. I thought this video would show me what’s inside. It’s a 2 piece connexion with a scandium barrel.

      Some are. Some aren't. Probably more aluminum than composite because there aren't any cheap/inexpensive composite bats. In the upper tiers, (over $250), I'd guess still slightly more aluminum, but nearly as many composite.
