El Tater-X12 Pro está diseñado para bateadores que no encajan en una sola categoría: jugadores que trabajan los conteos, utilizan todo el campo y aún tienen la capacidad de batear con fuerza cuando ven algo para golpear. Inspirado en el modelo de juego personalizado de Francisco Lindor, el mango delgado y el barril mediano crean un swing rápido y equilibrado que recompensa la disciplina en el plato.

Construido para bateadores que hacen ambas cosas
El X12 es nuestro modelo de la serie X más popular: un mango delgado, barril mediano, sensación equilibrada, construido para bateadores que pueden batear entre los huecos y aún así golpear la bola con autoridad.
Latigazo del barril
El mango delgado y el barril mediano generan una velocidad de bate rápida a través de la zona, lo que les da a los bateadores la rapidez para alcanzar la velocidad y aún así causar daño.
Sensación equilibrada
La distribución optimizada del peso permite a los bateadores mantener el contacto con la bola en todas las direcciones, contacto consistente sin sacrificar la fuerza cuando consiguen su lanzamiento.
Madera de grado profesional
Disponible en arce o abedul, con certificación de punto de tinta, partida a mano y pulida con hueso bajo el mismo estándar que nuestros bates de jugadores de la MLB.

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

What makes the Tater-X12 Pro different from another custom wood baseball bat?
The X12 Pro is a premier custom wood baseball bat designed for versatile hitters. It features a thin handle and medium barrel for fast bat speed, a balanced feel for consistent contact, and is available in pro-grade maple or birch. It's optimized for players who aim to hit to all fields and drive the ball when they get the right pitch.
Should I order the X12 in maple or birch?
Maple gives you a denser, harder hitting surface and is the standard pro choice. Birch is slightly more forgiving — a touch more flex than maple and more durable than ash. Both wood species are ink dot certified and built to the same standard as our MLB player bats.
How long does it take to get a custom Tater-X12 Pro?
A custom Tater-X12 Pro ships in 10–14 business days, because every bat is built to order in Cheshire, CT. If you need a bat sooner, check our Stock Bats (/collections/stock-bats) for ready-to-ship X series models that ship in 1–2 business days.
What size wood bat should I order?
Most high school, college, and adult hitters swing 32"–34" at a -3 drop, meaning the weight in ounces is 3 less than the length in inches (a 33" bat weighs about 30 oz). Youth players usually swing 26"–31" depending on age. Between sizes? Go shorter: a bat you can control beats a bat you can't. Switching from metal? Wood swings heavier at the same length, so a balanced model like the X12 or 271 is a good start. Wood bats are allowed in most high school, college, and adult leagues (BBCOR certification applies to metal and composite bats, not wood), but rules vary, so check your league's rulebook. For a recommendation by height, weight, and level, see our Wood Bat Size Chart at www.taterbaseball.com/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 starts at 12 bats, and team engraving is available. Send your models, sizes, roster count, and when you need them to contact@taterbaseball.com or through /pages/contact-us, and we'll send a quote within one business day. The bigger the order, the better the price per bat.
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?
Every Tater wood bat has a 30-day warranty against cracking from normal use, starting on the delivery date. It covers bats bought on taterbaseball.com, at our Cheshire store, or from an authorized dealer like Better Baseball. If your bat cracks, email contact@taterbaseball.com with your order number and photos, and we'll replace it. To keep it valid, don't hit dimpled cage balls, don't store the bat in a hot car or garage, and don't sand or modify the handle. Unused stock bats can also be returned or exchanged within 30 days; custom and engraved bats are final sale. Full details: https://www.taterbaseball.com/pages/tater-wooden-bat-warranty and /policies/refund-policy.
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?
The ink dot is a quality check. Before a billet becomes a Tater bat, we test the straightness of its grain by placing a drop of ink on the handle and watching how it spreads along the grain. Straight grain is stronger and less likely to break. The dot that stays on the handle shows the bat passed that test before it left our shop. Every Tater maple and birch bat carries one.
