Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026
Youth maple wood bat on the MM13 turning profile in the Pro Preferred series, offered in 29 to 31 inch lengths. The spec sheet lists a 2.36 inch barrel, a .93 inch handle, a flared knob and balanced weighting, with a 2023 release year and a 45 day warranty.
| Barrel | 2.36What this meansA thinner barrel (under about 2.45 in on a wood bat), with less wood to hit with. Its size does not decide the balance: some skinny-barrel bats are end-loaded. |
|---|---|
| Knob | FlaredWhat this meansThe handle widens into the knob like the bell of a trumpet. Players who choke up or want leverage like it; it also keeps the bottom hand from sliding off. Popular from high school up. |
| Balance | BalancedWhat this meansWeight is spread evenly, so the bat feels lighter than its number. A player who uses the knob or handle to deliver the barrel often needs the weight balanced or down toward the hands. Balance is not barrel size: some big-barrel bats are balanced. Tip: Which one is right depends on your player and how consistently they deliver the barrel. |
