BTL Staff Review

The I13T starts with the barrel size of an I13, but the torpedo shape moves more of the wood toward the area where hitters usually make contact. It stays balanced and has a slightly thicker handle than a traditional I13. We like it for hitters who are interested in a torpedo bat but still want good barrel control.

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.

What makes the I13T a torpedo bat?

Its barrel reaches maximum thickness around the primary hitting area and then tapers before the end of the bat.

Does the torpedo shape make it End-Loaded?

No. Rawlings classifies this model as balanced despite its 2.5-inch barrel.

Is the I13T made from maple?

Yes. This Big Stick Elite model uses solid maple construction.
