Abstract
In the paper, collision mechanics is used to analyze the hitting process of the bats in the baseball games. The model is constructed in the paper to testify the sweet spot on a baseball bat. The vibration impulse on hands is analyzed. And the hitting point of the center of percussion with zero vibration impulse is obtained by quantitative calculation. Some reasons are given to explain why practical sweet spot is not at the end of the bat.
