About Us

Quality

The quality of Gentle Giant bats doesn’t begin at the wood mill but at the source, from nature’s finest.  Ash, sugar maple, and hickory trees are carefully selected, felled, kiln-dried and milled by skilled hands.  Hand-turning by master craftsmen on slow speed lathes insures grain and wood fiber integrity.

Products are inspected at every stage from milling to finishing to guarantee major league quality.

Beauty

Specially formulated customer finishes and state-of-the-art laser engraving techniques complete the industry’s most beautiful wood bats.

The Personal Touch

Make YOUR bat exclusively YOURS.  Choose from three wood types and specify the perfect bat length, barrel size, handle size, knob size and style, and bat weight.

Conscientious

From felling a tree to final product, Gentle Giant is conscientious about the valuable natural resources we use.  Saw dust from turning is shared with local equestrians for stall bedding; bat blank remainders are used for souvenir-sized bats, children’s blocks, cutting boards and other products featured on our website Gifts area.

A woodworking artisan and lifelong baseball player, dedicated to quality.  Every bat, from little league to the pros, a valuable tool—a work of art.  Specially chosen stock, carefully harvested, hand-turned, custom-finished to perfection
