ORKMEN are known by their tools and ball players by their bats. Hitters insist on specific weight and mold for their bats. Ty Cobb, initially troubled in Detroit, proved superstition and resilience as he kept using his preferred bats even after a veteran broke them. Schmidt’s loaned bat data helped Cobb briefly, but he maintained duplicates of his own bats.
