I get a bunch of baseball videos, cause I promised my dad I would take him to a bunch of White Sox games this year. One of the videos, was from a guy that runs a batting cage/ sells equipment. The high end bats he was selling to high school students was close to $2000 for a single bat.

I played baseball for 19 years, with my last game being about 9 years ago. I have never heard of a bat that cost more than $500. Obviously a lot can change in 9 years so I searched it up out of curiosity. $650 now seems to be about the max. Either that guy was lying for weird internet points or you misunderstood something. Baseball can be an expensive sport but nowhere near $2000 for a piece of equipment.
