Can a CRICKET Bat Hit a HOME RUN? Canadian Reacts

Cricket bat vs baseball bat — which one really smashes the long ball? In this reaction, I watch a baseball player test both bats back-to-back, tracking exit velocity and distance on true home-run swings. He rips a few bombs with a baseball bat, then switches to a cricket bat and tries to replicate the launch angle, sweet spot contact, and power… even attempting “off the bounce” hits like a proper cricket bowl. Aussie cricket fans: I’m challenging you to give baseball a fair shake—you might love the strategy, the sweet-spot physics, and the pure dinger energy. 🇦🇺⚾🇨🇦

What we look at: launch angle, contact point, lofted drive vs. pull power, how a flat-faced cricket bat handles a pitched baseball, and whether timing a bounce actually helps or hurts. If you’re into MLB, T20, the Ashes, or just love big hits and clean technique, this one’s for you.

Jump in the comments: Could a pro cricket batter (opener vs finisher) do better with the baseball bat? Would a heavier/lighter willow change the result? What’s the closest baseball analog to the slog sweep or lofted cover drive?
