Aluminum bats entered hands of players about 30 years ago as an answer to non-pro players not having to buy new wooden bats every time one broke. When they were first introduced however the bats were not as light, were more dense and did not generate as much bat speed. Over the years Aluminum bats have been over developed and now use high tech metals that are much lighter, which helps generate greater bat speed, and sends the ball off of the bat at a much greater speed than wood bats. When a ball is hit at a greater velocity it gives the fielders and especially the pitcher less time to react and putting them in danger of serious danger.
