It's slightly end-loaded, offering a little extra weight at the bat's end for more power. The bat is tailored for those who prefer a unique touch to their gear without compromising on quality swings.

Diseñado para el corazón de la alineación
El Tater® XZ Pro es el bate de madera XZ para los bateadores de la parte media de la alineación. Tiene un mango delgado, un barril grande y una ligera carga en el extremo. Esta combinación da a los bateadores 3, 4 y 5 la velocidad para manejar la velocidad. También les da la transferencia de peso para impulsar la pelota cuando reciben su lanzamiento.
Mango Delgado
Tomado del X12 — rápido a través de la zona, agarre preciso, y la sensación de un bate de bateador de contacto con un barril de bateador de poder detrás.
Barril Grande
El barril compacto del XL5 crea una ligera carga final — transferencia de peso natural que añade fuerza en el contacto sin ralentizar el swing.
Madera de Grado Profesional
Disponible en arce o abedul — certificado con punto de tinta, dividido a mano y pulido con hueso según el mismo estándar que nuestros bates de juego profesionales.
⚾
Inspirado en el modelo de juego de Teoscar Hernández. El XZ toma la velocidad del mango X12 y lo combina con el barril del XL5.

El bate de madera XZ — diseñado para el corazón de la alineación

El Tater® XZ Pro está diseñado para bateadores que ocupan la parte media del orden. Jugadores que se espera que manejen la velocidad dura, trabajen los huecos y manden la bola cuando la situación lo requiera. El mango delgado mantiene el swing rápido y preciso. El barril grande y la ligera carga en el extremo añaden la transferencia de peso que convierte el contacto duro en bases extra.

El bate de madera híbrido — mango X12, barril XL5

El XZ es un híbrido de dos de nuestros perfiles de torneado más populares. Toma prestado el mango delgado del X12 Pro. Ese es el mismo mango que hace del X12 la elección del bateador de contacto. Combina ese mango con el barril grande y compacto del XL5. El barril del XL5 es lo que da a los bateadores de poder su transferencia de peso al contacto. El resultado es una construcción que no obliga a los bateadores de la parte media del orden a elegir entre velocidad y potencia.

El XZ está inspirado en el modelo de juego de Teoscar Hernández. Los bateadores que ocupan el 3.er, 4.º o 5.º puesto en el orden son el ajuste natural.

Quién debe usar el XZ

El XZ está diseñado para bateadores de la parte media de la alineación con fuerte velocidad de mano que quieren impulsar la pelota con autoridad. Si eres un bateador de contacto puro que vive de hueco a hueco, el Tater-X12 PRO es la mejor opción. Si eres un verdadero bateador de poder que quiere la máxima masa de barril, dirígete al Tater-I13 PRO. El XZ es el camino intermedio entre esos dos.

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

Who is the Tater-XZ Pro built for?
The XZ Pro is built for middle-of-the-order hitters — players who occupy the 3, 4, or 5 hole in the lineup. The thin handle gives you the speed to handle hard velocity, and the large barrel with slight end load gives you the weight transfer to drive the ball when you square it up. Inspired by Teoscar Hernández's game model, the XZ is the hybrid that combines the X12's handle speed with the XL5's barrel mass.
How does the XZ compare to the X12 and I13?
The XZ is intentionally a hybrid build. The X12 is the pure contact-hitter model — thin handle, medium barrel, balanced. The I13 is the pure power-hitter model — medium handle, large barrel, end load. The XZ takes the X12's thin handle and pairs it with the I13/XL5 barrel — giving middle-of-the-order hitters both speed and mass in one bat.
What's the lead time on a Tater-XZ Pro?
The XZ Pro is a custom build, turned and finished in our Cheshire, Connecticut shop. Standard production time runs about 2-3 weeks from order 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.
