David "Big Papi" Ortiz taking Batting Practice with an Aluminum Bat

[ISAJirafProductions]

david ortiz isnt a power hitter, he is a clutch hitter, meaning he is more of an RBI and walk off hitter.

[TheAthleticmonster]

lemme guess he hit like 600 footers with each swing

[999Gigs]

Can't do that wood so he has to use compiste

[murdaseal928]

Omg its a demarini! The bat that bends

[LineDrive32]

i would love to see major league players be able to use aliminum bats. a lot of players could hit 500 ft shots at will. i seen guys hit balls 530+ will wood bats. i think a few may crack 600 feet. i know they shouldn't and can't use them in games because of the danger, but what about in the homerun derby. not the whole time, that would take forever. maybe when their down to their last out... like a money ball, or in the final round. it would be a great show for the fans.

[omgguydude]

k thats at least on the upper deck, if not over haha.

[telnetcarlos]

At Petco, you have to use a Aluminum bat to make the balls scream out of the park because my Padres can never make that happen.

[paintballgenie11]

what bat was he using

[rockysocky123]

Petco park. i went to this game!

[270Gmoney]

There would never be an out

[sjgiants12]

To make the Home Run Dearby intresting let the hitters use a aluminum bat . Also the hitters have to fail a drug test to enter the contest

[alexthorpe13]

Is this the game dicek pitched?  If so i went!!!!!!

[flipian]

Wakefield pitched... gave up 6 runs... and Chris Young one-hit the Red Sox with 11 K's in 7 innings.

[MrSniper898]

How much for the vexxum ?

[iixAC130xii]

ANYBODY INTERESTED IN BUYING ONE OF MY BASEBALL BATS ,PM ME.

I HAVE A DEMARINI VEXXUM -5 ( BRAND NEW )

AN EASTON RAMPAGE -7.5 ( GOOD CONDITION )

AND A TPX EXOGRID -3 ( GOOD CONDITION ) I AM SELLING ALL OF THEM CHEAP!!!

[aznkangster]

@iixAC130xii how much is the vexxum and the tpx exogrid

[TeeeJON]

@tyspencer7 i have used both of those bats and the cf4 is much better than the exo

[apllepie1]

Thats dangerous. Lol !

[uno1industries]

i used the 08 stealth but it got to small for me im tall and big so i use 5 drops sometimes 3 and im 14 i would recommend getting comBATS. they are sick!

[Titansjchamb34]

man u put a cf4 in that mans hands id be running 4 my life! cf4s by far the best bat made, and the number 1 reason they r the best is because they r actully balanced through the bat so they rnt top heavy if u have a barrel heavy bat u will have a weak top hand and the result is little pop up in the infield

[shimmybafet823]

not necessarily. i use the new -5 31 stealth for training and im 13, 4 foot 11.5 and i barely ever hit a infield fly. i think the reason is cuz ive had professional training for over 3 years.

[aaront624]

@shimmybafet823 I don't care I'm 12 5 on the dot and 85 pounds and I use a 32 in. 20 oz. Combat B1 and everything I hit is a rocket. In BP with my team kids just stand on the track... relax yourself kid.

[tyspencer7]

@Titansjchamb34 actaully theyre not, theyre really top heavy and dent and chip paint very easily, best bat is the 2010 exo, i have that and the CF4 and the exo is wayy better better pop and balance

[swanybitch]

dudes 2009 cf3 black cant go rong lots of pop

[travisgroeneveld]

voodo black is where its at

[Texasdude4Eva]

the best bats definitley are exos, they have the best pop out of all bats because of how stiff they are. stealths are garbage cuz they a comps which makes it weak in the handle and results in less pop

[mvcbaseballer09]

Kelley 2k10 nfuego. Thats all that i have to say.....

[JorJor812]

Wow thats insane I found this video of big papi with an aluminum bat and saw your comment about the Kelley 2k10 N.Fuego! lol I work at kelley athletic headquaters we just put the new design for the bat up a few days ago glad you enjoy the N. Fuego!

[3vbaseball7]

-3 tpx triton

$400

Hell ya

[xITxProdigy]

33-30 red exo all i have to say.

[adioman1313]

h2 hybrid is better than most of the bats your naming except vencdetta c6

[mccarthy0507]

i use a $ 20 ebay bat (:

[hacksaw619]

I used a demarini with the black barrel with the orange handle and it was awesome. It had amazing pop but unfortunately I broke it with 2 weeks left and I couldnt hit at all without it. I just wasnt comfortable at the plate. I used to be so relaxed but when I had to use all these stealths or a dynasty I just didnt like the feel of them. I was just trying to hard. Groundout after ground out and fly out after flyout. R.I.P my bat. cause of death inside heat.

[Northeastbaseball]

-5 bats arent used anymore.

Only -3 is used in High School/College

[PenneyKid13]

they actually still have em

[crossinU]

Lol i have a drop 5 vexxum

[TBAKER98]

we use -5 in canada

i got a stealth 32 in 27oz

[LandonC33]

Not in Canada, only where you are from. We use -3 in Alberta.

[lindz1817]

We use -3 in australia, but division 1 is wood

[reecer101]

where in canada, in ontario we can use -5 up till grade 10 then its wood

[drumking108]

Give him a wood bat you big girl

[charlesjongejans]

how many feet?

[kingnate17]

dont rip on him...hes a cubs fan, everyone knows there weak they have wasted there money for 100 years buying cubs tickets so he can waste his money on a -5 bat

[cubsfreak32]

what is the best -5 bat

[knpdyeballarice]

NONE OF THEM... work out...

[ksliges]

haha

[Lspurls18]

i always used to use vexxums, and demarinis (they all are still sick). i switched to an 08 stealth comp. its like cheating. its so incredible. the ball comes off it better than any bat ive swong, and ive played for 12 yrs. p.s. get the 08 comp. the 09 sucks

[V131RA9]

ps use wood and stop being a woman

[tyklug2013]

y use a wooden bat if ur league lets u use an aluminum?

[allefakcor]

comp. hits harder so why not?

[ctbomber65]

get the '09 TPX Triton. I used to be a stealth kinda guy put for power hitters or even line drive hitters, it is very good

[sethrinaldi]

stealths suck the new voodoos are easily the best bats out there

[spartan9185]

the last 5 voodoos have all beaten stealths. I also like the CF3 and CF4 a lot.

[reecer101]

i dunno stealth are pretty good

[clearpancho]

wonder what bat it was

[masterchip14]

was that the easton connextion

[RatedY2JFan]

hey i was there on that day that was padres vs red sox in the classic jerseys right? when it was maddux vs matsuzaka? if it was that same day i was there i remember!

[flipian]

That was the night before. This game was Chris Young limiting the Sox to one hit in 7 innings while Tim Wakefield gave up 6 runs on 8 hits.

[RatedY2JFan]

o because the next night he used an aluminum bat too

[ieatmyvegetables1234]

i've hit 4 homeruns so far not even using the sweet spot. thank god i'll never have to use wood haha

[jesuit08]

i think little league up should use wooden bats

[ozunasox]

yea its too damn scary playing in on a bunt with a kid holding an alluminum bat. or being on the mound. hoo scary. but then again i dont wanna keep buying new bats cuz they break

[dham123456]

i play jr. leauge and i am not scared to take a line drive at third to stop a ball

[bigal5193]

ok? why would u say that

[knpdyeballarice]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[mesarat96]

what are you talking about zim, thatd kill all of the tradition in baseball, which is what everyone in america has come to love. the purity of the sport

[rhp92k]

wut purity mesarat? thanks to barry bonds and steroids the games become just about corrupt. but i would LOVE for it to be pure again like when mickey mantle played. back then it took talent to hit a homerun, not steroids.

[jumpmanmb2]

dangerous..

[zim1950]

Legalize aluminum bats and steriods , that way only the guys who are willing to risk their life will play and it becomes an X-Game . Encourage guys to do winstral until their bodies become freakishly large and they blast Moon-shot home runs until there hearts explode mid - game right there on the natural grass. We need a bunch of Romanowski's , that are a bunch of beaten old retards that gave us all they had on game day ! Health be Damned " pass the Dianabol " !

[flipian]

Nothing wrong with putting on a BP show, though. Besides, the sound of ball-on-wood can never be replaced.

[bluejays324]

yup! and also aluminum doesn't show the real power you have, it is just a fluke shot

[papajoewil10]

true that, i've almsot hit one out hit off the handel of an aluminum bat but if you did that with a wood you would be left with only a handle. lol

[ozunasox]

how the hell do you do that!!! if i hit the ball with the handle its either a little popup or a grounder. i thnk ur exagerrating. ive seen derek jeter hit the ball with the handle and muscle it into right field. i think if he used an alluminum it just would have been a grounder

[rumdogg49652]

its easy to do that you just have to be jacked like me :)

[flipian]

No kidding. That's why I was sitting where I was sitting...!

[ashwind23]

Cool. Hope Papi can play first when the Red Sox return to San Diego for the World Series.
