Can you find the “sweet spot” on a baseball bat? Check out the science behind the homerun!
Batter up! The “sweet spot” is when a baseball player hits the ball at just the right spot on the bat-and whoosh!-the ball goes really, really far. Reed and Nick each use different kinds of bats when they play, which makes them wonder: Is the sweet spot on an aluminum bat the same as the sweet spot on a wooden bat? Our investigators head to The Science Place in Dallas to find out.
