What's with this physics teacher? The greater the mass of the bat, the more momentum is transferred to the baseball allowing it to increase in velocity. Simple, M1V1 = M2V2. Since the baseball's mass remains constant, conservation of momentum results in an increase in the velocity of the baseball upon collison. You can demonstrate this by using a basket ball and a tennis ball.
