I think they're talking about the small souvenir ones. They may still be able to, but as they're much shorter the force is weaker. Along these lines, it'd be better to add a larger weight towards the end of the bat instead of a rod all the way through. You want as much mass on the far end as possible, and maybe if you care about weight then less mass closer to you.

You're correct. It was one of the small souvenir ones. I added the shifting weight so that it would slide to the far end of the bat as I swung it, drastically increasing angular momentum
