Chandler Bats is not the the most popular brand in the MLB, but they for sure can’t be ignored when superstars like Aaron Judge use their bats. Orioles’ rookie shortstop Gunnar Henderson has the ability to become a superstar like Judge and also rocks with Chandler. Henderson swings his own […]
Shohei Ohtani’s first American bat brand is Chandler, owned (and resurrected from a 2019 bankruptcy) by Cuban slugging legend Yoenis Cespedes, and his bat is based off another legendary slugger’s model, Aaron Judge. Shohei’s power, like Judge, is top 0.0001% in the world, and his SO17.4 is sized accordingly. His […]
While he’s mixed in Victus lately, Judge’s still swings his long-time favorite bat, the Chandler AJ99.2. According to Chandler, Judge’s AJ99.2 is a 35 inch, 33 ounce bat with no cup, which he’s been swinging since April 2017. At that point he switched to a Cutch22 knob, keeping the same […]
Ramon Laureano swings the first Axe-handled Chandler bat we’ve seen. Earlier in the Axe handle’s evolution, it was limited to a couple of companies including Victus and Dove Tail Bat, but now, the brand that holds the patent must have opened it up to more companies. Chandler makes it in […]

Carlos Correa is swinging a Chandler, the CC13 cut, which we’ve seen swung by teammate George Springer, as well as division rival Elvis Andrus. Its an i13 barrel modified for balance and a “mild” tapered handle. Correa’s measurements are 33.5 inch, 31 or 31.5 oz. The “C” on the end […]
Nelson Cruz, along with Aaron Judge, swings the longest bat in the Big Leagues, a 35″ Chandler BOOM STICK. We’ve seen Cruz swing up to 32.5 ounces, but we’d bet he’s at 33 ounces when he’s feeling his absolute strongest. His NC23.3 is similar to the very popular AP5 / […]
Yo most famously swung a Chandler during the 2013 HR Derby in which he beat Bryce Harper, who was also swinging Chandler. The DTM7C is a custom cut for Yoenis that you can get a great look at in the feature gallery. Shop Chandler bats here. Something to keep an […]
According to David Chandler, CEO of Chandler Bats: “He’s hitting a blend of models paired for balance and power. A modest flared knob accentuated with a tight pinched transition that leads way to a long, medium diameter barrel.” The best place to get Chandler Bats is on Hitters Inc., though […]
When I spoke with Chandler, I was told that Springer swings mainly the CB195, but most recently we’ve seen Springer swinging a cut named for him, the Chandler GS4. We don’t have any info on that one. You can shop JustBats selection of Chandler wood here, Hitters Inc. here, or […]
