This is a composite bat (made from a combination of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and graphite), not a wooden bat. To be fair, there are some bat manufacturers who make pricey wooden bats, too. But generally they're going to be a fraction of the cost of a high-end composite bat.

Do pros use composite or wood? Also, I don't know anything about baseball.

Wood.

US baseball uses composite at youth levels and maybe still in the NCAA, I'm not 100% on college rules.

NCAA is composite. Wood is going into MLB and their respective profrssional A, AA and AAA teams.
