Aluminum. I've seen them dented but I've never seen one break.

Besides if they get all of the steroids and HGH out of baseball (not
likely), MLB is going to need to find a way to get all the scrawny 180
pound ball players to hit the ball out of the park.

That loud PING is not quite the same though.

The problem with Al is that of line drives. Since more energy is
transfered, a line drive may well break bones or kill someone. That's
one reason why they're not allowed in MLB.
