As noted above, maple is a diffuse-porous wood, meaning that the grains do not run in a straight line. As such, maple is more brittle than ash and can break spectacularly under certain circumstances.
Cons : May acquire moisture and weight over the lifespan of the bat. Maple is such a dense wood, and so heavy, that hitters may not be able to use the maximum 2. A softer wood with more flexibility that may help generate more whip-like speed through the hitting zone.
Birch, like maple, is a curly-grained species that will compress over time and resist flaking. Exit velocity may suffer until this is achieved. The first baseball bats were made out of hickory, which is the heaviest and hardest of all bat-wood species. Pros : Very hard wood results in high exit velocity.
