So Bryce is swinging Victus during Spring Training and some of the players are swinging the axe handle bats.

Has anyone every gotten one of these Axe bats? They say Pedroia and Stanton swing them and now Carlos Correa.

goldin auctions had a pedroia one a little bit ago - really sweet looking bats. i believe the design takes some of the stress off of the wrist area.

Thanks found it

Found this at $1,159 sold on Goldin. For anyone who know the Dustin Pedroia market, is that a lot or not?

That IS a lot for a Pedroia bat. But, it was his 1st ever axe bat & a unique item, so that's why I believe it went for so much. Also swinging the axe bats on the Red Sox are Mookie Betts, Hanley Ramirez (occasionally) and I've seen Blake Swihart use em. They're catching on. Makes sense since it limits injuries to the bottom of your hand.

This guy on twitter is a good follow for Red Sox bat info like this. . . .

Good info here. Glad to see some of these axe bats getting more common. Need to pick one up. Rollins was the first guy I saw use them a few years back. I believe a collector on this site has owned a Rollins.

I love how he got a response from Victus.

I'm looking forward to swinging their bats and we will do a followup story which I will post.

We've done this with other bat manufacturers, swinging prototype bats and writing about them.

Bryce used a new BH137.1 Victus bat on Opening Day when he hit the HR yesterday.

I love Bryce Harper but he changes bats like we change our underwear and to be quit honest, it would be bigger news if he used the new ax handle. I did noticed though the new rising star, Carlos Correa used the new ax handle Victus bat hitting his 1st HR of the year against the Yankees in today's home opener. I'd put a better picture but MLB TV says I'm blacked out until tomorrow since I live in NY

Here's one. Used by Molina after the season for training before he had to have the second thumb surgery. Thought I'd share.

Very cool pic of that Molina!
