Makes the ball jump off the bat, increases distance.

Makes the bat much lighter, making it easier to swing.

its lighter so batters can get a better head speed is the theory. don't think anyone has any conclusive proof that it makes for a better bat than a standard one

cork is lighter than wood. by "corking the bat" you make the bat much lighter increasing bat speed.

oh... i thought they used aluminium bats. Wow, he must have expected it to break then if the inside was cork...

 

[LeeTJ]

Just saw shots of it, i don't know if it was corked but there was something suspicious looking about the bat.
