Baseball Bat Durability
Although, most modern baseball players have multiple bats, they still don't want to have their bats destroyed after one swing. The pitchers are throwing faster balls and the force at impact is quite intense, depending on the hitter. There is also the appeal of the sound of the ball being struck off the bat.
Maple tends to be a denser grain and is less likely to splinter or flake. When the baseball player strikes the ball, he wants the bat to remain intact. Otherwise, you might get some funny situations where the bat flies farther than the ball.
