That’s pretty much what I thought but wanted to ask! Would be nice to keep the bat in the car over the winter but don’t want to risk it.Not worth the money. Keep the bats in the house and in the warm part of the car always.
Also make sure the balls that are being hit have been kept indoors where it is warm. Frozen softballs are bat destroyers.
Interesting. So is it ok to keep the bat in the car all winter? I’m in Ohio so real winter. Just as long as it’s warm when it’s time to hit? Cold balls won’t be a concern.It really doesn't matter if the bat gets cold or warm or whatever... until you're actually hitting something with it.
And it's almost always cold balls that kill bats in cold weather. Not that the bat was cold. The balls are left in a shed at the field and are like concrete. They'll destroy your bat if your bat is warm or cold. Doesn't matter. A bat warmer is a waste of money IMHO. Use that money to get a cold weather bat - either a beater you expect to break, or an Anderson or something that won't break. We have enough used bats now laying around the garage that we use one of them for cold weather games.

Thanks for the advice!
