A hit is not a run. Just because you made contact with the ball does not mean you’re going to make it around the bases, or even at a minimum get the person on third into home. Not only are wooden bats heavy, but they transfer a lot less force than an aluminum bat. A regular person would have no chance of hitting it even to outfield, much less any sort of scoring position.
