The BD33 is closest to an M110 in terms of balance and barrel control, but it gives you a little more barrel, a slightly thinner handle and a flared knob. We like it for gap-to-gap hitters who want a balanced bat they can control while driving line drives to all fields. It’s a good option for someone who likes an M110 but wants a little more barrel presence.

The Old Hickory Brendan Donovan BD33 Steel Pressed Wood Baseball Bat combines a balanced swing with a medium-large barrel and professional 181 profile. It is built for hitters who want a solid hitting surface while maintaining control of the barrel through the zone.

The medium handle flows into a flared knob, giving the bottom hand a comfortable and secure position. Its medium-large barrel provides more hitting surface than a traditional contact-oriented model, but the profile remains balanced enough for hitters who value quick hands and a direct path to the ball.

Old Hickory makes this BD33 from hard rock maple and applies its Steel Pressed process to compress the wood grain and create a harder hitting surface. The full chocolate stain gives the bat a clean, understated finish. As a Steel Pressed model, it is covered by Old Hickory’s current 60-day limited wood-bat warranty.

Summer Tournaments & Training

Wood Bats

All wood bats we carry are -3 drop. Sizing follows the same principles as BBCOR. Wood punishes poor bat speed more than any other type — when in doubt, go shorter.

Height	Weight	Length	Notes
Under 5'4"	Under 140 lbs	29"–30"	Builds better contact habits
5'4"–5'7"	140–160 lbs	30"–31"	Good starting point for wood
5'7"–5'10"	160–185 lbs	31"–32"	Most common Most Common
5'10"–6'1"	185–210 lbs	32"–33"	Strong players Most Common
6'1"–6'4"	210–225 lbs	33"–33.5"	Max for most HS players
6'4"+	225+ lbs	33.5"–34"	Proven bat speed required

BTL TipIf you are playing travel or high school ball in Arizona, you are going to need a wood bat. Most summer tournaments around here are wood bat only. Wood is also the best training tool in the game — the sweet spot is smaller and mishits are unforgiving, which forces you to be more precise with the barrel and build better mechanics over time.

What type of hitter fits the BD33?

It works well for hitters who want a medium-large barrel but still prefer a balanced, controlled swing.

What does Steel Pressed mean?

Old Hickory uses pressure to compress and compact the wood grain, creating a harder surface on the maple bat.

How does the BD33 compare with an end-loaded model?

The BD33 keeps its weight more evenly distributed, making the barrel easier to control than a heavily end-loaded profile.
