Handcrafted Wood Bats
Made Country Strong
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…

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.
