The RA13 is similar to an I13, but it has a thicker handle and a more balanced swing. We like it for gap-to-gap hitters who want the barrel presence of an I13 while maintaining good control through the zone. The Steel Pressed finish gives the barrel a hard hitting surface.

The Old Hickory Steel Pressed RA13 is a maple wood bat with a balanced profile and a firm, powerful feel through contact. Its medium barrel transitions into a medium handle and flared knob, giving hitters a controlled swing without losing the presence of the barrel.

Old Hickory’s Steel Pressed finish compresses the wood grain to create a harder hitting surface. Finished with a natural barrel and black handle, this RA13 brings together a clean look, dependable balance and Old Hickory’s professional wood-bat craftsmanship.

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.

Does the RA13 feel heavy through the zone?

No. Its medium barrel and handle create a balanced swing that keeps the barrel present without making the bat feel overly end-loaded.

What does the Steel Pressed finish do?

Old Hickory compresses the wood grain to create a harder barrel surface. This gives the bat a firm feel and crisp response at contact.

Who is the RA13 best for?

It fits a wide range of hitters, especially players who want a balanced maple bat with a secure flared knob and enough barrel for driving the baseball.
