IIRC Mythbusters confirmed a corked bat actually hits the ball a shorter distance due to the lack of mass hitting the ball. Im wondering if there's a sweet spot where the reduction of air resistance is a greater gain than the loss of mass due to cutting holes in the bat.
That bat reminds me of the paddle the parents handed around in the community I lived in back in the early '80s. They literally drilled holes in it to cut down on wind resistance. 😂
^ This , Bat gets to heavy and your swing tends to get really sloppy trying to over compensate to get the barrel in front of the ball. Fast bat fast ball, Wild how from (in most cases) High School - Pros they use the same size bat , almost like getting use to it matters lol. Seeing someone jump up 2 ounces in youth sports, which is realistically nothing, and how it typically affects them for a couple months until their body is fully tuned to it is a great example.
Heres the thing about that basketball. It's the same weight as a normal basketball but it doesnt need air. So youre drilling holes in a bat purely for the same look and not the same effect.
You are introducing way too much inconsistencies with swinging the bats yourself. You need a system to measure each swing consistently if you want to see if there is a real difference. Entertaining either way.
This was cool! Please start breaking up your MLB the show vids with some of these. The hitting HR over and over gets boring some nights. You make really good vids outside of the game.
@@jacole1234 whoops my bad. I was thinking steel inserts but said cork. Cork makes it lighter while maintaining some of the density instead of a hollow bat. Steel insert makes it denser and heavier, but if you can swing it hard the ball will go further.
you forgot to test the bat with holes before it had holes, as it is the test you did could be just cause the bat with holes had better wood . You might have gotten the same results if you tested both bats without holes just because of how one might be a better bat than the other.
You know the basketball has holes because it's an airless ball right? So it can't be completely incased otherwise it wouldn't work. Why are you comparing that to a baseball bat that is wooden and doesn't need air? Unless this is satire which in that case I apologies.
Its total shit. if you are going to run an experiment, keep it fair. At 5:20 you popped one straight up weakly at a 52.5 exit velocity and used it in your average. At 8:12 you weakly popped up with the bat with holes in it, and you didn't use the exit velocity.
This guy needs to take this video's results as a shining example of the importance of sample size and error margins.
That and swing weight matters, Faster bat faster ball. He mentioned judge, not a lot of people swing a 35/33 , he's a unit.
@@driklol Id be willing to bet he hits better with a 34/32 in terms of EV and distance.
Exactly. I have no idea why dummies are making themselves look like teenagers.

Isn't that Newton's 2nd Law?
Just wait for Shohei to come up with holes in his bat…
You should try your experiments batting lefty too.

Less mass equals less total distance, but also less weight and a faster swing
The holes make the bat lighter; why not try a lighter bat to confirm weight vs. holes.
to have good timing when it's that close load before they put the ball in the machine. Btw great vid
I wonder if DeWalt or Milwaukee will start to be seen in dugouts?😂
HAHAHAHHAHA
EVERY ONE IN THE SHOW:
im late on my swing, get me the milwaukee !!
That bat is goated bossman lol.
love the content, but you need to be able to hit that metal bat around 105+ minimum. You need to either work on swing, or strength, probably both.
Pretty cool experiment.
Not an experiment. You have no idea what an experiment looks like.
Keep up the good work mighty
4:03 Literally...
A lighter bat will let you swing faster, ie drilling holes in this case

More holes 🤣

Making a bat denser would make it work better. That's why corking is a thing. It increased the density with making it heavier.
Cork is more dense than wood? Hmmmm. 😅

So in your correction comment, you claimed that cork and air have the same density?
@@williamdowling7718 no
@@zachfutv9986 "cork makes it lighter while maintaining the same density as a hollow bat."
No? Really?
Are you sure?
Thanks Mighty!
Lol! Just use a lighter bat. No need to drill holes in the heavier bat.

I think you are over thinking it a bit
Gotta get the bat bros to hit this.

There was 28 holes.
Love this videos!!!
I was waiting for the bat to break into 1 million pieces
I love these videos so much!
Try making many Bats. Jimmy rigged and all it would be cool neat and funny. Plus maybe surprising . And try to make the best Bat.
He made the Swiss cheese bat
Why does it have holes
W video
Legendary bat
ngl ken carson or destroy lonely would go stupid on 1:49
shout out to the dog
Good video

Good afternoon what happened to mighty ghost 5 videos
Gonna return soon!!
Hey mighty goat don't forget to get some pine tar for your bats
Good call lol
Nice video
28 holes
make more mlb the show video
I’m not convinced.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What is up
Mighty goat when are you gonna post the show and you Should play NHL and please shout me out. My name is Bryson .
