Impulse of ball from bat when playing baseball

[student000]

Is it true or false that when a baseball player hits a home run, the baseball receives a greater impulse from the bat than the bat does from the ball?

I think the answer is false because of the law of conservation of momentum.

Good. Even more direct is to consider Newton's 3rd law (which leads to conservation of momentum).
