Tater SM6 — El bate de madera de Starling Marte

El diseño del bate de madera de Starling Marte se encuentra entre dos extremos. La mayoría de los bates profesionales se enfocan completamente en la potencia o completamente en la velocidad de swing. El SM6 no compromete ninguna de las dos. Barril mediano-grande para la potencia y la zona dulce de un bate de poder. Mango delgado para el látigo y la velocidad de swing de un bate de contacto. Distribución equilibrada del peso para el control de usar ambos.

Este es el bate de Starling Marte, su modelo oficial de juego de la MLB, construido con el mismo estándar de grado MLB que cada bate que Tater envía a los bateadores profesionales. Marte juega con velocidad, contacto y un potente enfoque en el plato. El SM6 fue diseñado para apoyar los tres. El bate de madera SM6 lleva su enfoque a cada juego.

Por qué el SM6 es el primer bate de madera profesional exclusivo de Tater

Los bates exclusivos para jugadores son cómo evoluciona el juego profesional. Los bateadores trabajan con la tienda de bates, refinan el giro en múltiples sesiones y ajustan un perfil que se adapta a su swing. El SM6 es ese proceso aplicado a nivel de la MLB: las especificaciones de Starling Marte, la artesanía de Tater y el primer modelo profesional exclusivo para jugadores de nuestra línea. La misma madera, la misma lógica de torneado y el mismo acabado a mano que cada bate que Marte lleva al plato. Negocio familiar desde 2015, de 500 a 1,000 bates a la semana desde nuestra tienda en Cheshire, Connecticut.

¿Arce o abedul?

El arce le da al SM6 la superficie de golpeo más dura y el sonido de "pop" más limpio al salir del barril. El abedul se flexiona un poco más y es más indulgente en los golpes fallidos. El perfil de bate de madera con barril mediano grande se mantiene igual con cualquiera de las especies. Lea más en nuestra Guía de diferencias entre bates de arce, abedul y fresno.

Tater™ vs Other Brands
There's a reason Pros are switching to swing Tater™
Most wood bats are made for retail shelves — lower-grade lumber, bulk machining, inconsistent pop. The Tater™ Wood Bat is hand-split, hand-finished, and bone-rubbed to MLB standards.
✓ Higher density wood lasts longer and provides better "pop" off the barrel.
✓ Ink dot tested to prove our bats meet professional standards.
✓ Hand-split wood follows the natural grain, making bats stronger, more durable, and less likely to break.
✓ Bone rubbing compresses the wood fibers, making the bat harder, improving durability, and increasing ball exit speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SM6 actually Starling Marte's game bat?
Yes — the SM6 is Tater Baseball's first player-exclusive pro model. It's the exact bat Starling Marte swings at the big-league level, built to the same MLB-grade standard as every bat we ship to pro hitters. Same medium-large barrel, same thin handle, same balanced feel, same hard maple as Marte's gamer.
What kind of hitter is the SM6 built for?
The SM6 is built for hitters who want pop without giving up bat speed. The medium-large barrel gives you the hitting surface and exit velocity of a power bat. The thin handle keeps the swing quick. The balanced feel lets you stay through the ball. It's the contact-power blend that pro hitters live in.
What's the lead time on a Tater SM6?
The SM6 is a custom build, turned and finished in our Cheshire, Connecticut shop. Standard production runs about 2-3 weeks from order confirmation to ship.
What size wood bat should I order?
Length ranges from 30"–34". Drop weight (length-to-weight ratio) ranges from -3 to +2. Drop weight is the difference between bat length in inches and bat weight in ounces — a -3 drop means a 34" bat weighs 31 oz. Most adult hitters use 32"–34" at a -2 or -3 drop. Most BBCOR-certified leagues (high school, NCAA) require -3. For a personalized recommendation by height, weight, and league, use our Wood Bat Size Chart at /pages/wood-bat-size-chart.
What types of wood are Tater bats made from?
Hard maple and yellow birch — both MLB-grade. Maple has been the pro standard for over 20 years: densest, hardest hitting surface, biggest pop on clean contact, but a smaller sweet spot and less forgiveness on mis-hits. Birch sits between maple and ash — similar density to maple with more flex on impact, which makes it more forgiving on mis-hits and a smart starting point for hitters transitioning from metal to wood. Read the full breakdown in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide at /blogs/the-lumber-yard/differences-between-maple-birch-and-ash-bats.
Do you offer discounts for team or bulk orders?
Yes — team and bulk pricing is available, typically starting at 12 bats. Contact our team sales desk with your spec, roster size, and timing through /pages/contact-us and we'll send a custom quote within one business day. The more bats in the order, the better the per-unit pricing scales.
Are Tater bats suitable for professional play?
Yes. Tater Baseball is an MLB-supplier wood bat company — our bats are swung by professional players at the highest level of the game. There is no separate "consumer-grade" production line. The same MLB-grade billets, the same hand-finishing process, and the same QA standards apply to every retail bat we ship as to the bats we cut for pro hitters.
What is the warranty on Tater wood bats?
30-day limited warranty on structural cracking under normal field use. To qualify, the bat must be a 2021 model year or later, you must be the original purchaser with proof of purchase from an authorized Tater dealer, and you must have followed our hitting guidelines (no cage-style dimpled balls, no storage in extreme heat or cold like a car trunk, no excessive moisture exposure). Full warranty terms and care guidelines at /pages/tater-wooden-bat-warranty.
Why are wood bats cupped at the end?
Cupping is a small concave dish drilled into the end of the barrel. It removes a few grams of mass from the very tip, which shifts the bat's balance point slightly toward the hands and makes the swing feel quicker through the zone. Tater hand-cups each bat, and our process allows for variable cup depths to dial in feel without compromising end-cap strength — which actually reduces the risk of chips and cracks on inside pitches.
What is the black dot on the handle?
Every Tater maple and birch bat carries an ink dot near the handle as proof of MLB-grade slope-of-grain certification. The ink dot's bleed pattern reveals whether the wood grain runs cleanly along the bat's long axis — a tight bleed means safe, MLB-spec slope; a fast bleed means rejected billet. The dot is the visible proof every bat passed inspection before leaving our shop.
