Q: When did you hear about Sam Bat and what made you join Team Sam Bat?
I heard about SAM BAT through teammates while I was in travel ball & the beginning of my pro ball career. I think Sam Bat’s have they most balance & pop.
Q: Tell us a bit about the model you designed
Wanted to go with a bat that I felt fully confident in swinging. My go-to handle is a flared handled that has a bigger barrel to compliment it.
Q: What do you look for in bat?
- Weight evenly throughout
- Medium-big barrel
- Slightly flatter handle
- Long Barrel
Q: What cup do you use and why?
- I work with both because I feel like during the season sometimes I feel strong and sometimes I don’t feel as strong so using both helps with those days.
Q: When picking colors, do you like to go flashy, or classic?
Classic
