A sports bat article, and a method of forming the sport bat, is disclosed. The method may include shaping an elongate wood piece to have a barrel portion and a handle portion suitable to be used as a sport bat, with the wood piece having a shaped surface. The method may also include applying a substance to the shaped surface of the wood piece in which the substance may be effective to harden a surface of the wood piece. Applying the substance to the shaped surface of the wood piece may include immersing a portion of the wood piece into a pool of the substance.

Disclosed herein are various forms of hybrid baseball bats comprising a wood shell having a radial wall and an outer radial surface profile defining a baseball bat. The wood shell having a central core with a central surface thereon extending from a distal end of the bat. The central surface being profiled with a taper that in some embodiments extends entirely through to the proximal end. A fibrous construct is housed in the central core and infiltrated with an epoxy resin. In some forms, the fibrous construct is in the form of a sleeve. Disclosed are various manufacturing techniques for manufacturing hybrid baseball bats including a low pressure bladder method, a high pressure bladder method, and a centrifugal force method.

The technology provides a method of reducing injury to a hamate bone for the lower hand while swinging a bat. The method includes determining a relief location for a knob of a wood baseball bat gripped with two hands, one above the other, with a lower hand being proximate to or contacting the knob. The process includes determining a location of a hamate hook on the lower hand, based on an intersection of a Kaplan's cardinal line and an ulnar border of ring line and placing a transferable substance over the hamate hook of the lower hand. A wooden baseball bat is selected and gripped with the grain positioned for a baseball to contact a hard side of a barrel during a swing. A location is identified to create a relief in the knob based on a transfer of the substance corresponding to a location of the hamate hook.
