I think I speak for the baseball community when I say we are thankful that you stumbled across what you did the stuff you have done to make it easier for kids and adults to find information about bats and even get them some exposure for some of the kids is just insane

I've been a subscriber for years despite never playing beyond little league myself. Your videos are incredibly entertaining and have helped me make decisions when buying for my son as he's getting into the game. The fact that people who don't even play can enjoy your work speaks volumes to the quality of your content. Please, keep up the good work, I need more bat madness in my life 🤣

You’re an inspiration to me bro. Im a 28 year old, pretty much washed baseball guy, who still plays very high level ball every weekend. I’ve got a Weak job I don’t like too much, but luckily get to instruct the game part time. It’s amazing what the game can do!!! Love your videos and your knowledge of the game. A lot of people don’t understand how much baseball means to a lot of people, and through your videos its shown. And this story is very inspiring. Keep up the great work dude

I always wondered why a sporting goods store doesn’t treat bats the same way they treat golf clubs. You can go in and hit real golf balls and get fitted for a new driver, trying out as many of them as you like until you find the one that suits you. Why not have one of every bat that people can swing at real baseballs and get a real feel for the weighting and sweet spot? Spending $300-$500 on a guess really sucks.

@stg2125 Жыл бұрын
All the Dick's Sporting Goods stores by us have a Hit Trax setup that you can hit balls off a tee and get a feel for the bat you are interested in. It's not the same as someone throwing you BP, but it's better than nothing.
@CommonSense823 Жыл бұрын
@@stg2125 The Dick's in our area only let you hit light flights off the tee. They have the Hit Trax, but who knows what it is really telling you with a LF off a tee. Really hard to tell what the sweet spot is when the ball is doing all of the compression. Might as well be swinging a broom stick at a marshmallow and then putting down $400 on the broomstick.

Great Story! When my 12 year old was needing a bat this spring, I looked up USSSA Bat Reviews on your channel and we got the Easton ALX Alloy - it's served him well and he had a great season with it! As a baseball kid in the late 80s early 90s, Easton's my jam and glad we found one for him!

yeah man, cool story, bro. Literally!! I just got back into baseball after 2 decades off. Joined a sandlot team and wanted to see reviews on wood bats. That's what led me to you guys. And really not many other guys were doing it. Great job. You saved me a few bucks on bats as well.

i don't even play baseball anymore (but still play softball competitively at 61) and love these videos....i originally watched Will of the "Softball bat bros" (Louisville Genesis forever) and decided to click on a few of the Baseball Bros videos and love them...I guess time was tough to do both but I love the videos every time and continue to watch every one that comes out...PS Will, the Genesis line is still THEE best in U trip right now, at least for me

In my high school days you couldn't try out bats because there weren't options to try out, Easton released a new version every couple of years and that's what everyone used, and once in a while Louisville would release a tpx which later went to tps. Really the only Louisville I remember seeing used though which I actually bought and used my junior year after randomly coming across it and realizing it was completely balanced differently than the Easton and preferring the way it felt, was the black and green tps. And even that was pretty rarely used, and until it I don't remember anyone ever using anything other than the same Easton reflex c core, or regular reflex before that bat. it's pretty awesome just the brand selection let alone number of total bat options kids have today.

God presents opportunity in strange ways, He had a plan for you to stick with baseball, because he knew you had something to bring to it. He brought you back by giving you this isolated success on these random "trash" ebay videos, and from there you were able to capitalize on this success by taking control of the opportunity an turning it into a reality. From "garbage" pseudo-product reviews to being partnered with the biggest baseball bat reselling company and the largest baseball bat channel on KZbin, you've changed the game Will and JT, and you deserve every last drop of success and respect you've gained from this passion project turned business.

Yo are you guys making The Baseball Bat Bros video game? You could definitely get funding from the bat companies or just have Mlb the show’s company develop it and make a deal with them and the bat companies and maybe even one of the mlb owners like Steve Cohen to really help it and also your fanbase. It’d be so sick if you can get all the best bats you have used with the actual sound effects in it and have those as unlockables/in game purchases, all the main fields you played it in the game like the roof field and one with the track, and a mode where you can attempt the guiness book home run distance record haha. As far as team selection maybe you can draft Will, Eric Sim, Adley, and everyone else who has been featured in your videos and more upcoming and or mlb players. I feel like that game would do amazing with sales and people would love it
