The Tater-X12 Pro is built for hitters who don't fit one category — players who work counts, use the whole field, and still have the ability to drive the ball when they see something to hit. Inspired by Francisco Lindor's custom game model, the thin handle and medium barrel create a fast, balanced swing that rewards discipline at the plate. Built for hitters who do both The X12 is our most popular X series model — a thin handle, medium barrel, balanced feel — built for hitters who can spray the gaps and still drive the ball with authority. Barrel Whip Thin handle and medium barrel generate fast bat speed through the zone — giving hitters the quickness to catch up to velocity and still do damage. Balanced Feel Optimized weight distribution lets hitters stay through the ball to all fields — consistent contact without giving up pop when they get their pitch. Pro-Grade Wood Available in maple or birch — ink dot certified, hand-split, and bone-rubbed to the same standard as our MLB player bats. ⚾ Our most-ordered X series model.

Family-owned since 2015, 500–1,000 bats a week out of our Cheshire, Connecticut shop, MLB supplier — that's the shop you're ordering from when you put an X12 in the cart. How the X12 compares to other Tater turns The X12 sits at the contact-hitter end of our balanced lineup. Want the classic 271 turn with a flared knob and medium handle? See the Tater 271 Pro. Want the X12 thin handle paired with a larger end-loaded barrel for middle-of-the-order pop? Check the Tater XZ Pro. Looking for pure power with a 243-inspired barrel? Head to the Tater I13 Pro. Maple or birch? Maple gives you the hardest hitting surface and the cleanest "pop" sound off the barrel; birch flexes a touch more and is more forgiving on mis-hits, which a lot of high-school and college hitters prefer. The X12's thin-handle, medium-barrel feel doesn't change with species — pick the wood, the bat stays the same. Read more in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide.
