I noticed that during today's game, Joey Votto appeared to have very little (if any) mota/tar on his bat handle. And, the bat appeared to have a decent bit of wear. The general use made me through out the theory that the mota/tar just wasn't apparent because the bat had barely been touched yet.
I noticed because I have one of his '08 bats, which similarly has a good bit of use, but little mota/tar on the handle.
Is the variance somewhat common among all players depending on some factor (humidity, player mood, etc?), or can anyone enlighten me as to why the variance is there with Votto in particular?
Thanks, as always, for the wisdom common to the board.
