- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Dan and this is Lincoln,
and today we're gonna cut open a wooden bat.
We have an official, major league baseball,
Louisville Slugger baseball bat.
It is wooden.
I would imagine it's gonna be wood straight through,
unless, maybe somebody corked this bat
before we bought it.
But before we cut into it, we're gonna take a few cuts
and see if we can hit this thing.
(bat cracks)
Whoo hoo!
Man, you should play some baseball, you can hit.
Right down, right down here.
(bat cracks)
Oh, out of the park, first hit. Whoo! (laughs)
Alright, let's give it another try, I like this wooden bat.
(bat cracks)
Home run number two.
(bat cracks)
Whoo!
- Home run number three.
- It's outta here.
(bat cracks)
Number four.
(bat cracks)
- Five.
- Five homeruns.
That's how we do it, five home runs.
I haven't played baseball in about 12 years.
Of course, this is a Little League field,
but it feels pretty good that the old man
can still hit a baseball.
Alright, so that was a lot of fun,
hitting the baseballs with this wooden baseball bat,
but now it's time to get to business
and cut this thing open.
We are with our friend Steven Prince,
and we are at Stoked Longboards manufacturing facility.
So, Steven makes these awesome longboards,
and the nice thing is, I really don't have a saw
to cut open this baseball bat and do it safely.
And this is a Hitachi band saw CB75F, whatever that means.
All it means to me is, it is a big, massive saw.
So, I'm gonna turn on the switch
and give it a shot.
You ready for this?
- Let's do this.
- (laughs) Alright, let's do this.
(saw whirrs)
So, if you look at my line, I didn't do a very good job
of keeping it straight, so I'm gonna try
starting from this end now and see
if I can straighten it out a little bit.
(saw whirrs)
So, we're switching blades, we're gonna go to a smaller one.
That other one was just so big, it made it hard to turn
and hit on the right angle, so this saw
was getting a little bit off.
So, Steven is putting a new blade on.
(saw whirrs)
There we go.
OK, come over here, Lincoln.
We'll just break off the last piece. (bat snaps)
(laughs)
- Yeah, you got it.
- There we go.
- Wow.
- There's the inside.
- Wow, it's wood.
- (laughs) It's wood.
Just about what you'd expect, wood inside of a wooden bat.
Now, I've seen pictures of people that have corked the bats,
like baseball players.
And what they do is, they, you'll see a hole right here,
maybe that far down, on both sides of it,
and they, I don't know if they put stuff in it,
or if it's just air, but when they crack open a bat,
that's, you'll see the mark in there, a big hole.
What do you think we should do with this thing?
- Try to hit some baseballs with it.
- (laughs) No Way.
- Yeah, let's try.
- What if we just took it and put it
on your wall in your room, right there,
that'd look awesome. - That would look pretty cool.
- That would look pretty cool.
- Half of it on the wall.
This is our buddy Easton, he came with us today.
Easton, maybe you can take half of the bat home with ya.
That's what's inside of a wooden baseball bat,
it is wood.
We're gonna cut up in a metal baseball bat pretty soon,
but we appreciate you watching, and subscribing,
