Baseball bat forensic consulting case

Brief reference: "I did a study for someone once" on whether aluminum bats hit further than wood bats.

Who knows why the Soviets used it. They probably had a source of scandium where they had some expert in the old days in the Soviet system. All you needed was one very powerful person, scientifically, who had some pet idea — in this case maybe a pet metal. But it also has numbers on there like BPF 1.15, and I think it's ball protection factor or something. There are all kinds of different things to evaluate whether the baseball bat is safe, because they actually design it for performance — they claim they don't, okay. But aluminum bats hit further than wood bats, and you can prove it. I did a study for someone once.
