Nicky Nukes
Forged for a complete hitter with elite blast radius. The Kurtz16 replicates the exact profile behind Nick Kurtz's biggest milestones — peak exit velo, barrel-to-zone domination, and hard contact to all fields.
Built to the same standard as every Tater® MLB player bat — ink dot certified, bone-rubbed, and backed by a 30-day warranty. #LetThatStickTalk
The Tater® Kurtz16 PRO is the exact Nick Kurtz bat swung in the Major Leagues. Medium-large barrel, thin handle, balanced swing weight. Built to stay quick through the zone and drive the ball to all fields. Hand-built in Cheshire, CT from MLB-grade hard maple.
The Nick Kurtz bat — built for hitters
Tater Baseball® supplies Nick Kurtz with his game bats. The Kurtz16 PRO is the same Nick Kurtz wood bat — same turn profile, same wood, same hand-finishing. It's available to high school, college, and adult-league hitters who want to swing what a Major Leaguer swings.
The feel
Thin handle keeps your hands fast through the strike zone. The medium-large barrel punishes contact when you square the ball up. Balanced swing weight that doesn't slow you down on inside fastballs or pull you forward on offspeed.
The DNA
MLB-grade hard maple, hand-split with the natural grain. Same process, same wood, same standards as every Tater pro-level bat. The Kurtz16 wood bat is ink-dot certified and finished to MLB specs. That's what Nick Kurtz uses in the show.

Built by an MLB bat supplier
Tater Baseball® has been hand-building wood bats in Cheshire, Connecticut since 2015. We supply hitters in MLB, MiLB, and Division I college programs — including Nick Kurtz.

Who should swing the Kurtz16
The Kurtz16 fits hitters who want bat speed without giving up barrel mass. The thin handle suits hitters who can drive the head of the bat through the zone. The medium-large barrel rewards them when they square up. It's built for the contact-power blend that pro hitters live in.
