The power hitter's workhorse The Tater XL5 Pro is an end-loaded wood bat built on the AP5 silhouette — medium handle, large barrel, slight end load. An elongated barrel design that gives power hitters more hitting surface to work with and the swing weight to drive the ball with authority. Elongated Barrel Extended barrel length adds hitting surface and pushes mass toward the end — more room to connect and more force when you do. Slight End Load Enough end load to feel the barrel through the zone without killing bat speed — the balance point that separates heavy hitters from slow swingers. Pro-Grade Wood Available in maple or birch — ink-dot certified, hand-split, and bone-rubbed to the same standard as the MLB player bats we ship from our Connecticut shop. ⚾ Swung by Yan Gomes at the big-league level — the XL5 is built for power hitters who need a bat that holds up through a full season of serious use.

Browse ready-to-ship stock bats → Tater XL5 Pro — The Power Hitter's Workhorse The Tater XL5 Pro is an end-loaded wood bat built on the AP5 silhouette — one of the most trusted power-bat profiles in professional baseball. We took that profile and added an elongated barrel that gives hitters more hitting surface, and a slight end load that creates natural momentum through the hitting zone. It's the bat for hitters who want to feel the barrel working and still maintain enough swing speed to handle velocity. The medium handle and slight flare knob give the grip a comfortable, neutral feel — nothing fighting the hands, just the bat doing its job. Why power hitters pick the XL5 Pro The XL5 is Tater's most-ordered end-loaded model, and Yan Gomes — who's swung Tater Players Weekend bats at the big-league level — is one of the hitters who's helped prove out the profile. It's the same wood, the same turning logic, and the same hand-finishing as the bats we cut for hitters in MLB, MiLB, and Division I college play. Family-owned since 2015, 500–1,000 bats a week, MLB supplier — that's the shop you're ordering from when you put an XL5 in the cart. Maple or birch? Maple gives you the hardest hitting surface and the cleanest "pop" sound; birch flexes a touch more and is more forgiving on mis-hits, which a lot of high-school and college hitters prefer. Either way, the XL5 is built end-loaded and large-barreled by design — that doesn't change with wood species. Read more in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide.
