Sam Bat Blog

We took a quick minute to sit down with Team Sam Bat Demi Orimolye to talk about how he got into baseball, and what he looks for in a bat!  You can follow Demi on Instagram @demiorimoloye and Twitter @DemiOrimoloye16   Where did you grow up and did you grow up playing baseball?  Does anyone else in the family play? Tell us a little bit about your family, brothers or sisters? Were they supportive? I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario & I started played baseball at 10 years old. Nobody in my family had played baseball before at that time...

The SAM BAT BP Bat has taken the market by storm! Our Sam Bat Team introduced the BP Bat several ago for 2 reasons; firstly to provide a great training tool for players at an unbeatable price, and secondly to educate players that lighter is not always better. We get requests all the time saying that the order needs to be exactly -3, or “do you guys make -4 or -5 bats”?  Sure, we can make that, but at the end of the day you are losing a lot of performance, and a lot of durability with a lighter bat. ...

Now this name has stuck and been copied across the bat industry!  This really goes to show you never know what impact you are going to have. A SAM BAT Pro Select is a bat that was made for an actual Pro order during the year. Pro Orders are very exact. Barry Bonds for example swung a 34 inch 31.8 ounce...

The MMO has been around since the very early days of SAM BAT and has always been one of our most popular models. It has hovered consistently in the 4th or 5th bat position overall. Staff always wondered why it was not chosen more. Many thought that this model did not get the attention that it deserved.    After 25 years the MMO has really taken off! It was a slow build, everyone here on staff thought it was cool, first one order, then another and another. Now it is our most popular model across the board! The MMO is based off the M110 profile,...
