Torpedo baseball bats are the latest fad across professional baseball and one Ontario company is turning heads in the big leagues with their game-changing design.
Baseball bats have evolved significantly over the years, with players now choosing from a wide range of materials, shapes and weights to suit their swing. Traditionally made from ash or maple, wooden bats are prized for their balance, durability and feel, especially in professional leagues where metal bats are not permitted.
Ontario-based SAM Bats is becoming known across the world for their hand crafted “torpedo” bats sported by countless MLB players and pros overseas.
President and Co-Owner Arlene Anderson says the interest has only intensified what’s already busy stretch of the calendar.
Sales Director Kevin Rathwell explains the difference between a regular bat, and how customizable they can make it.
Anderson says there’s been requests spanning all ages and skills.
The baseball world began taking notice of the bat design when a handful of players on the New York Yankees made the switch and found quick success in their home run totals.
