The Wood Bat Factory Batting Range

The Wood Bat Factory Batting Range is a baseball shop and batting range in Cooperstown, built around a love of the game and of wood. It carries top brands of wood baseball bats from around the world, and it’s a natural stop in the village where the Hall of Fame stands.

Custom engraved and painted trophy bats, awards and gifts are a specialty, whether for teams, coaches, players or someone’s mom. The shop also makes the case for wood: a wood bat gives better feedback than metal and teaches batting fundamentals. Its bats are made from split billets, which keeps the grain straight through the handle and greatly reduces breakage.
