Explain to me what breaking a bat has to do with a pitcher or a batter.
Pitchers who can get the ball in on the batter's hand can snap off the wood bat if the batter does not keep his hands in.
It was a badge of honor for the guys at the WWBA as to how many bats the pitcher can snap off during the tournament. The guys would take pictures of all the broken bats in the dugouts.
There was a guy on one of our travel teams who just bought 4 wood bats before a wood bat tournament. He had a very long homerun swing, needless to say he broke all of his bats because he did not learn how to keep his hands in and had a long swing and the ball bore in on his hands breaking all of his bats before the end of the tournament, one of them on one swing of the brand new bat!
