Maple Baseball Bats

Maple bats are harder, stronger, and longer lasting than other wood bats. There are a few woods that are harder but they are too heavy and dense to use for baseball bats for today’s game. As pitching speeds have increased and the number of late breaking pitches are being thrown more, players need bats they can swing fast. The longer a hitter waits to identify a pitch, the better chance he has of hitting his pitch and not get fooled by the pitcher's pitch. Major League hitters will tell you that pitching is all deception and hitting is all adjustment. A hitter needs to use a baseball bat he can wait until the last fraction of a second to swing giving himself the best possible result. Because maple is a strong dense wood, it compresses the ball more and the result is 15-20% more pop, carry, exit speed, and distance. The tradeoff for implementing this material to make baseball bats is weight. At least 50% of the maple baseball bat billets we produce are too heavy to use for bats.
