The only ones Ive ever seen called out of a game are some of the 2 material bats. Allright the Biggest difference between a slow pitch and a fast pitch bat is the way they ar weighted. A slow pitch bat no matter if it says balanced has more weight therefor it is going to hit a slow ball further and harder than a Fast pitch bat that has most of the weight in the handle. Basically you wont be able to get as much behind the ball with a fastpitch bat.
