I’ve been a baseball player all my life and I’ve always used bat weights. I’ve never truly understood why they worked so well. Why does this effect occur?

When your muscles do work they swell and expand to increase blood flow and oxygenation of the cells. This helps the muscles lift more and not tire as easily.
So if you pick something heavy up, you get a “pump” that makes other things seem lighter.
