Opinions for Wheel Barrow Handles

Have two 5-6 cu ft wheel barrows, each with a broken handle. I don't have appropriate hickory, but do have several 5" X 5" X 10' rough cut ash.
Would ash be reasonably strong/durable for making handles? I'm suspecting so, since ash is used for baseball bats. It's been a long while since I've looked at the ash, but I suppose there is some straight grained stuff among the 5Xs.
Thanks.

I was thinking the same about ash. It's very strong and durable but also
known for it's bending qualities, which is why they use them for bats. I
can't see going wrong with using it.
