Of course, real bats (wood) do not need warming up!

Of course wood bats need warming up. Wood is not different that any other material. A material's ductility is a function of its temperature. Of course a material's temperature is only one variable in a material's ductility. But wood's natural ductility is greater than metal.

But remember when sitting on a wood bat, splinters are a possiblity, .
