Plasma Fusion Swing Count:
950

34 inches, 28 ounces

Detailed history is not available but this bat has averaged more than 1 homerun a game during it's lifetime.

Update 9/29/08 This is a conservative estimate based on 6 batters batting 3 times and connecting two times per at bat in each game over 3 seasons.

Catalyst Swing Count:
495

32 inches, 25 ounces

This is a conservative estimate based on 6 batters batting 4 times and connecting two times per at bat in each game and 150 initial break-in swings.

Around 300 hits, the bat started launching balls and the team scored 23 runs in 3 innings before the game was called.

At some point, the bat will go dead and it'll be good data knowing how long this type truly lasts.

Update 9/29/08 Still hitting well halfway into season 5. We'll estimate 5 batters have used it for 4 games, 3 times per game with 2 pitches per at bat with one set of hands: 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 swings to be added to 375 = 495.
