ABOUT US

HOMERUN DERBY BATS ONLY began in 2011 out of our garage as just a hobby. We were tired of depending on a very unreliable, local bat doc to shave our bats and decided to figure this out on our own. Over the years, we have developed our customer base upon 2 important principles: timely, reliable service and top notch product. Every bat that leaves this shop is scrutinized to the same degree as we would our own bats. We know one bad apple could possibly ruin our reputation and strive to not only excel in our craftsmanship, but also the customer experience.

We PROMPTLY answer our phone and respond to texts and emails and have no problems sharing our knowledge and experience with you so you know the bat you will be receiving will perform as expected. We stand behind our services 100% and do not hide behind any false claims. We have all the tools, equipment and knowledge to properly shave any composite slow pitch, fast pitch and baseball bats and this shows from swing 1.

We pride ourselves on referrals and the smiles we put on our customers faces.

WHAT IS BAT SHAVING?

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BAT SHAVING

Bat shaving and rolling has been around since the advent of the composite softball bat. Back in the day, not everyone was aware bats were being altered nor did they know the performance gains a simple modification can do. I know when I first found out about it, I always wondered why my buddies bat hit better than my own and it was the same exact model. These services were only available through friends of friends who knew a bat doctor and whom were open enough to talk about it. Many bat docs remained under ground for sometime, but over the years, this service has become marketed and much less taboo. You can simply do a Google search and see all kinds of bat shaving companies out there offering their service and experience. Needless to say, shaved bats are everywhere.
