Besides time and perhaps uniformity, what's the difference between breaking a bat in through batting practice and having it rolled in a machine?
Besides time and an even breaking, well nothing. There would be no basic difference between bats full broken in by hitting, rolling, or banging it against a light pole. A broken in bat is a broken in bat, how it got there only matters as an ethical argument not a performance one. Though there is a durability difference.
