Tim Anderson, making a push for back-to-back batting titles, is swinging his own model from Victus, the TA7. Tim swings Birch wood, which offers a mix of hardness and flex that fuses the attributes of Maple (hardness) and Ash (flex). A growing number of pros are choosing to swing Birch […]
Rising superstar Fernando Tatis uses the Victus FT23 model in 33.5″/31 oz. (-2.5) and 34″/31.5 oz. length to weight ratios. The FT23 features a large barrel, medium handle, and a flared knob. These features make the profile end-loaded and packed with plenty of whip. Similar to the i13 and AP5, […]
“Laser” Ramon hits lasers, too. He’s swinging an Axe-handled Victus MB50 (Mookie Betts) bat with a black barrel, natural handle, and a sick hologram trademark. The MB50 cut has a profile that is end loaded with a sharp taper into a long sweet spot. The X50 offered by Victus (at […]
George Springer got his Axe fix through Mookie Betts, which he reveals in our locker tour with him in 2018. Axe Bat, the owner of the axe handle patent, has kept a close eye on George’s performance with and without the Axe (Mookie, too). The numbers show a very clear […]
The first time we saw Gary swinging the APV was the 2017 HR Derby when he put on an absolute show but was ultimately bested by teammate Aaron Judge. Now, Gary, who is the 2nd fastest ever to 100 HR (ahead of Aaron Judge by 16 games), has settled into […]
Altuve still swings the Victus JA27 33 inch, 31 oz Maple, full cup bat that we have seen for several seasons. The JA27 is like a 238, and the closest alternative to the JA27 that Victus sells online is the APV for $190 as a custom model. You can shop […]
Kris Bryant has been swinging a Victus KB17 lately, including that 475 foot missile off the new Wrigley scoreboard. According to Victus: “It’s essentially a 243. There’s not really a better way to describe it. Traditional knob, long barrel with decently sharp taper in the transition.” Victus offers the 243 […]
Check our full write-up on this bat, which Pedroia has taken a liking to since late May. The Axe handle “feels good in your hands,” says Pedey. Since this is Baden’s technology, we don’t expect to see this available from Victus, but you can get an Axe Bat here. Thanks […]
Corey Seager flat out rakes with a @victussticks KS15, 34/32, his big brother Kyle's model. It's a slightly modified 318. According to Victus, the handle is just a touch thicker which helps balance it out. Corey swings Ash and Maple, though WPW saw him swinging Maple. Unfortunately, Victus doesn't offer […]
Jose Abreu looks like he’s completely converted to Victus lately, and we’re betting that he’s swinging the same cut that he did with Marucci, a model first made for Adam Dunn with a modified handle. Abreu’s Victus is a custom, but you can shop Victus at the link.
