Youth Bats
B45 is renowned for our expertly crafted adult bats. We’ve taken that same superior craftsmanship and expertise and have applied it to our youth bats. Our youth bat collection is in constant development, designed to enhance the performance of young players, while also meeting their unique needs.
Why Choose B45's Youth Bats?
B45’s youth bats are designed to do one thing: help young players develop their skills. Our premium youth bats are designed to offer the perfect balance between performance and durability. Each of our bats is handcrafted from our signature yellow birch wood and is available in a range of models. To improve your skills and confort, you can combine with a batting glove.
Superior Quality and Craftsmanship
At B45, we never compromise on quality. Our bats are all handcrafted in Canada from the finest ethically sourced yellow birch. Not only is our wood top-quality, but it is also more durable than the wood used by most bat manufacturers.
Our yellow birch wood is the perfect material for a youth bat. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, making it a great option for young players who are still developing their skills. Yellow birch wood is also incredibly durable, making it resistant to breaking, so prepare to be surprised by how long your bat will last.
Enhanced Performance for Young Players
Other youth bat options are commonly made from materials like aluminum, alloy or composite. However, these materials don’t offer the same performance benefits that our signature yellow birch wood does.
Aluminum and alloy bats, in particular, are known for their durability and performance, but they don’t have the same training benefits as wood does. At B45, we believe that the earlier you start training with the same tools the pros use, the faster you’ll be able to make your way to the top.
Meet the B45 Youth Bats Collection
The B45 youth bats collection features a range of bat models, each expertly crafted from our signature yellow birch wood. Our collection includes the B271, JD20, B141, JL18, and our fan favorite B-1.
B271
This is one of the most popular bats at all levels due to its balance. Many professionals choose this model because its dimensions allow for the bat to be made with denser wood. Its flared knob and tapered handle also make it a good choice for beginners. This bat is recommended for players transitioning from aluminum to wood.
JD20
The JD20 is a versatile bat suitable for a wide range of players, ideal for youngsters looking for a bigger barrel in the process of improving their game. Lightweight and durable, it helps young players reach new heights. The JD20 is specifically designed for experienced young wood hitters looking for heavier barrels than usual.
B141
It combines the balanced feel of the B271 with a long, slim handle and extended barrel for a wider hitting surface. Designed for contact hitters, this bat is made of denser wood, offering more power and a better ability to hit from all sides.
JL18
With its slimmer handle and large tapered barrel, the JL18 is ideal for hitters looking to cover the entire sweetspot, offering the perfect transition from a balanced to a heavier bat. Available in several sizes, the JD20 Pro is perfect for players of all levels.
B-1 : The Reliable Choice
The B-1 bat is a real bargain! Withdrawn only for minor cosmetic defects or slightly different specifications, it retains all its quality and performance. Enjoy a top-of-the-range bat at an unbeatable price!

Knob Type refers literally to knob’s shape and dimension. While some are completely square, others are a bit bigger: flared, or even tapered. Choice depends solely on comfort of the hitter. B243v’ knob, on the picture, is flared.
Handle Size directly influences bat’s balance and durability. The bigger it is, the more weight is held closer to the hands. A big handle is also synonym of durability as it’s the focal point of any tension or vibration in a bat. Handle size should also vary according to hitter’s comfort. Standard size is around 0.93”.
Barrel Size influences even more the balance. The bigger it is, the more end-loaded the bat will be. On the contrary, smaller barrels will tend to have much more balance. Barrel Shape also tend to vary. Some have cylinder shape while others are tapered. Most of them are in-between, having a tapered part followed by a varying-length cylinder.
Bat Feel refers to the bat's center of gravity, which is influenced by the size of its handle and barrel. End-loaded bats require more power to generate a quick whip through the strike zone, and controlling their big barrels demands greater strength. In contrast, bats with smaller barrels have their center of gravity closer to the hands, making them feel lighter and easier to control. Ultimately, it’s about how the bat's weight is distributed. There aren’t good or bad models—just ones that are better suited to each swing.
