BREAKING IN A COMPOSITE BASEBALL BAT...gone wrong

The Baseball Bat Bros bring out one of the BBCOR GOATs - the 2018 Rawlings Quatro BBCOR - to demonstrate how to successfully (or unsuccessfully) break in a composite BBCOR baseball bat.

DISCLAIMER: Aluminum/Alloy bats DO NOT require any break-in. They're 100% ready right out of the wrapper.

Needless to say, the break-in period was much shorter than we thought, and this bat immediately started to break on us.

It feels weird to us that the most expensive baseball bats are also the least durable (composite) - and they aren't necessarily any better performing than alloy at the BBCOR level (not really true for USSSA though).
This video definitely boosts the argument for alloy/aluminum bats - cheap, durable, no break-in required, and often endloaded nuke-hitting bats.

But if you want to pick up the 2018 Quatro and get ~200 swings of heaven and a 1-year warranty, Mad Max at Closeout Bats can hook you up:

BAT BRO SCALE DETAILS:
Bottom line: due to BBCOR restrictions, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT BAT. Between power, sweet spot, and swing weight, every bat is going to have to compromise in at least 1 area.
Scoring scale:
8 or lower: not a fan.
9: average, middle of the pack.
10: solid bat, above average - Bat Bro approved.
11: one of the best bats in its category and one of the best overall bats of the year
12 or higher: 🐐

By supporting us, you'll help us:
1) Buy new baseballs! We lose tons of baseballs during the videos from foul balls, dingers, and kids that steal them - and we use nice game balls so they're like $5 a pop. Each dozen costs about $60 and with your support we can buy new baseballs every month.
2) Buy bats! We get a lot of our bats for free, but sometimes companies just deny us when we reach out to them, so we have to buy the bat if we're gonna review it. And we want to be able to review every bat out there for you guys! Even with companies that have sent us a free bat in the past, sometimes they don't like our brutal honesty and they won't send us bats anymore - and we could use your support to help us buy those bats. Again - we do this for the PEOPLE - not the bat companies. 
3) Hire professional hitters to be in our videos!
4) Pay for operating costs like our website, camera equipment, etc.
