Topic: baseball bats are poor examples of third class levers

Educational materials like to claim it is so, but it is bullshit. These fuckers have never swung a bat. You don't keep any part of the bat motionless as a fulcrum to pivot around. You swing the fucker. You sort of do a twist action with your hands at the same time, like you are steering it.

I have never seen a baseball bat used as an example of a lever

Well they do that. Even on the internet, so a search of baseball bat 3rd class lever will show.
