BTL Staff Review

The 25BB is a 243-style bat with the large barrel and end-loaded swing power hitters usually look for. The slight flare at the knob gives the bottom hand a comfortable place to sit. It’s a good choice for a middle-of-the-order hitter who wants to feel the barrel and do damage when the ball is squared up.

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.

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.

How does the 25BB swing?

It has an End-Loaded swing with a large C243-style barrel designed to carry plenty of mass through contact.

Is the handle thick or thin?

The 25BB uses a relatively thin handle with a slight flare near the knob for a comfortable bottom-hand position.

Is this Byron Buxton’s model?

Yes. The 25BB profile and Steel Pressed finish are based on the bat used by Byron Buxton.
