Here is a link to a presentation:

Some interesting points:

Wood bats can bend.

Contact point on bat for maximum energy transfer is between center of mass and center of percussion,extending further/closer to handle for aluminum.

Not interested in talking about how the body produces the swing-not physicsy enough I guess.
