Choose from a Variety of
Wood Baseball Bats

Wood baseball bats were the only bats used until the mid 1970's. Today, professional baseball leagues still require them. Most high schools and colleges use aluminum bats. Some high school leagues have recently returned to use wood bats for safety reasons.

Most wooden bats are made of northern white ash. Maple has become popular, mostly due to the success Barry Bonds had with the bats in 2001.
