Matts Bats
Handcrafted wood baseball bats

San Rafael Β· Est. 1988

Wood bats, turned by hand.

One workshop in Marin County. Thirty-seven winters of dust, shavings, and the right grain of maple.

"We don't sell bats. We turn a piece of wood into the right swing."

β€” Matt Sr., founder

What we do

Four trades under one roof.

Custom Builds

Handcrafted wood bats turned one at a time in our San Rafael workshop. Maple, ash, and birch β€” pick the wood, weight, and finish.

Pro Stock Orders

Game-model bats built to the exact specs of MLB and college players. C271, M110, I13 β€” we stock every turn.

Repair & Restoration

Cracked handle, loose knob, or a bat your grandfather swung in 1962? We bring them back to life.

Engraving

Laser-etched team logos, player names, and personal messages. Bulk team orders welcome.

From log to lineup

Every bat takes about three hours.
