Baseball, Come, Getting, Different, Sounds, Sound, smacked


Question by NewRookie:

How come the sound of the baseball getting smacked sounds different?

So when baseball players in majors make contact with baseball, the sound is different when high schoolers, college, or even spring training majors hit the ball. Why is that? Both of their bats are made of medal right?

Answer by remmycool
Same reason a slap sounds different from a punch.

Major leaguers hit the ball squarely and with more power. High schoolers hit the ball off-center and with relatively less power.

Also, major leaguers tend to have expensive bats made out of expensive woods, which affects the acoustics somewhat.
