B45 - The Original Yellow Birch Bat Company™ | Wood baseball bats known for quality and durability for all levels of professional and amateur hitters.

B45 is known for quality and innovation in the wood baseball bat industry. Through years of collaboration among our staff's forest engineers and professional players, B45 offers the finest bats made throughout North America and the world. Our raw material, Northern Québec Yellow Birch, possesses extraordinary physical characteristics.

Based on game experience and laboratory testing, B45 bats perform consistently better than bats made from either maple or ash. Hard like maple and with flexible wood fibers like ash - B45 bats have a significantly lower breakage rate enhancing hitting performance, lowering overall cost, and adding a measure of safety to the game. Forest engineers know wood, and professional players know performance. Both have combined their expertise to develop B45's Northern Québec Yellow Birch bats. » read more
