Baseball is a game that requires a lot of skills to succeed. Whether it is pitching or hitting, playing baseball is not easy. Those who want to bat always look for the best bat. And this time, none other than the MLB legend Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is here to tell which bat is best to use and which bat he used to play with during his playing days.

Having played baseball for over 20 years, there is probably no one better than A-Rod to describe more about the baseball bats. However, it is also true that he is one of the wisest minds in baseball. He understands the game like no one does.

MLB does not allow any players to use the metal baseball bat. Instead, batters can use only wooden bats. Talking about A-Rod, he also used to play with wooden bats in his playing days. In a recent video, the Yankees legend described what kind of wooden bat he used.

“I get a lot of questions about which bat I used to use. Well, here is the answer. Louisville Slugger C271L triple dipped in black latte, which makes the wood a lot harder and tighter. 34/32 with my big hand, it really feels too thick hitting a baseball on good days. On bad days, well, it did not matter. You were not gonna hit anyway,” A-Rod said.
