Tater Baseball is a Connecticut wood bat company founded in 2015 by a crew that grew up in the game and never stopped chasing the perfect piece of lumber. We started in a small shop with a single lathe and one rule: make the kind of bat we'd want to swing ourselves. Eleven years later, we're still in Connecticut, still on the lathes, and still building bats one at a time.
Today, Tater produces 500 to 1,000 wood bats per week across maple, birch, and ash. Our bats are swung at every level of the game — from Little League and travel ball through high school, college, and the MLB. We supply pro players directly, and our work has been recognized in connection with the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Most importantly, our bats are in the hands of thousands of amateur hitters who just want a real, hand-built piece of wood that performs. Starling Marte has swung Tater since 2017. Nick Kurtz swings his own signature model, the KURTZ16, and hit four home runs in one game with a Tater bat.
Every wood bat we sell is built in the USA from MLB-grade billets. We don't outsource turning. We don't sell mystery wood. Every bat is profile-cut, hand-finished, weighed, and inspected before it leaves the shop. The same applies to our gloves, apparel, and gear — if we wouldn't use it ourselves, it doesn't carry the Tater name.
We're a small team doing this because we love the game. If you swing one of our bats, you're buying from the people who actually made it. That's the deal — and that's the standard we hold ourselves to with every piece of wood that comes through the shop.
