The Tater® ML19 short bat trainer
The Tater® ML19 is a short bat ideal for two-handed drills, tee work, soft toss, and live pitching. It features a club-like feel that closely resembles a standard game bat — just shortened. That makes it a natural complement to any hitter's training toolkit.
The ML19's weight matches its length — 26" at 26 oz and 28" at 28 oz. That balance builds the bat speed and body awareness behind a powerful, compact swing. More experienced players use this two-handed training bat to drive the bottom hand through the zone. Younger players use it to develop barrel control and learn to square the ball up.
Why coaches and hitting instructors use the ML19
The shortened length is the whole point. It forces hitters to stay inside the baseball. That's the foundational fix for the most common swing flaw in amateur baseball. Hitting coaches use the ML19 as a tee work tool. They also use it for soft toss and as a between-rounds resetter during live BP. As a weighted training bat with length-matched weight, the ML19 builds the right muscle memory through high-volume reps. Players keep one in the bag for warm-ups and pre-game work.
