The science behind them just makes sense. Analyze each player and put the largest mass where they most often make contact.

This is a dream for MLB, I’m sure. They’ve been dying for more offense.

Honestly it's crazy that it's taken this long to have this come to baseball, right? Golf has been tweaking clubs for forever. Hockey in the last 15 years have made sticks almost perfectly bespoke for players as well.

I hope the Mets use them and don’t get left behind in the technological changes of the game.
