About
When I started Barnwood Bats five years ago, it wasn't some grand business plan. It was just me, Pete Gorman, in my barn out back, making a couple of bats for my boys.
I was coaching their Little League team in Metrowest at the time, and I told the kids, "Whoever shows me they work the hardest, I'll give you one of these bats for free." Next thing I know, parents are coming up saying, "Hey, I heard you're making bats. Can you make one for my kid?"
That's how it all started—word of mouth, because honestly, these bats came out wicked good…

Engineered specifically for coaches who demand reliability and precision, our lightweight fungo bats deliver exceptional durability through hundreds of repetitions. The extended barrel and carefully balanced design allows for pinpoint accuracy when placing fly balls and grounders, while our specialized wood selection ensures maximum longevity even during intense practice sessions. Every Barnwood Fungo is handcrafted with the same attention to detail as our game bats, giving coaches a professional-grade training tool they can count on season after season.
The Barnwood Difference
Each Barnwood Bat is personally handcrafted by Pete using top-grade Maine wood, professional tools, and decades of baseball passion—delivering unmatched quality and performance you simply won't find from mass-produced alternatives.
There is no warranty against breakage of our bats. However, we are willing to inspect a broken bat and if there is a flaw in the wood, we will replace it.

This trainer promotes proper hand positioning, effective weight transfer, and coordinated upper body rotation through a concentrated swing path.

Superior Birch Construction
Premium Birch delivers the perfect blend of flexibility and hardness for today's players. Our select birch combines ash-like flex for exceptional bat whip with maple-like durability for impressive longevity. Birch's unique fiber structure absorbs shock on mishits, reducing hand sting while maintaining excellent pop and performance. This versatile wood is ideal for players transitioning from metal to wood bats, offering forgiveness without sacrificing the power and durability that competitive players demand.
