There's a longtime belief in baseball that rubbing your ash bat with an animal bone can make it stronger.

Let Rawlings save you the time and elbow grease with one of its new bone-rubbed wood bats.

Available at Rawlings Gear, the new Bone Rubbed Big Stick (model number 243BO) is an ash wood bat featuring Profile 243, a large barrel and a 15/16” handle. Bat lengths are 32”, 33” and 34”.

Rawlings' Big Stick models are designed to create power through the size and shape of the barrel.

The new Bone Rubbed Velo (model number 110VBO) is an ash wood bat featuring Profile 110, a medium barrel and a 1” handle. Bat lengths are 32”, 33” and 34”.

Rawlings' Velo bats are ideal for players who want to maximize their swing speed by using a more balanced bat.

Rawlings developed new proprietary machinery and technology to automate the bone rubbing process. Uneven spots and blemishes on the wood are rubbed away, resulting in a compressed, harder hitting surface. Additionally, this process smoothes out the surface of the bat, which reduces the possibility of the barrel flaking.
