Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat

Want a swing that holds up under pressure? Build it one hand at a time. The Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat is a short, solid 22″ ash trainer made for the drills that turn good hitters into great ones — strengthening your hands, sharpening your bat control, and grooving a cleaner path to the ball. Shaped from premium Northern White Ash by Rawlings’ skilled bat makers, it brings real wood-bat feel to every rep.

Here’s everything you need to know before it’s in your bag.

Sharpen Your Swing With Every Rep

The Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat is built to do one job exceptionally well: isolate each hand so you can feel and fix what a full-length bat hides. At a compact 22″ and a substantial ~1.63 lbs, it gives hitters enough mass to build genuine hand and forearm strength through controlled one-handed swings. Crafted from durable Northern White Ash with an unfinished, pro-style look, it delivers authentic wood feedback off the tee and on soft toss — and it ships with an instruction booklet of drills so you know exactly how to put it to work.

Who This Bat Is For

The Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat is for hitters and coaches who are serious about development — from youth players building fundamentals to high school, college, and adult athletes refining their mechanics. Coaches rely on it for cage and team drills, and its solid build makes it a favorite for players who want to build hitting strength. (Younger players should make sure the weight is manageable for one-handed use.)

How to Use the Big Stick Trainer

Use it for top-hand and bottom-hand isolation drills off a tee or with soft toss — the included instruction booklet walks you through them. Grip the bat with one hand, focus on a short, controlled path to the ball, and build strength and feel through crisp, repeatable reps. The 22″ length also lends itself to certain two-handed drills. As with any wood bat, it’s a training tool for drill work, not for full game swings against live pitching.

FAQs About the Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat

What is the Rawlings Big Stick One-Hand Training Bat used for?

It’s a short wood bat for single-hand hitting drills. It isolates the top and bottom hands to build strength, improve bat control, and groove a cleaner, more connected swing path.

How do you train with it?

Use it for one-handed drills off a tee or with soft toss — the included instruction booklet lists several. Grip it with one hand, take short, controlled swings focused on a direct path to the ball, and build up reps to strengthen your hands and refine mechanics.

How long and heavy is it?

It’s 22″ long and weighs approximately 1.63 lbs (~26 oz) — compact, but solid enough to build real hand and forearm strength.

What is it made of?

It’s turned from premium Northern White Ash by Rawlings’ own craftsmen, giving it authentic wood-bat feel and durability.

What’s the difference between an ash and a maple training bat?

Ash is a traditional, slightly more flexible wood with a bit of give, while maple is denser and stiffer. Both make excellent trainers — this Rawlings model is ash; if you prefer maple, ask us about maple one-hand trainers as well.

Is this bat good for youth players?

Yes, it’s used by players of all ages, but at ~1.63 lbs it’s a solid trainer — younger or smaller players should make sure they can control the weight one-handed, or start with a lighter trainer.

Can I use it for full two-handed game swings?

It’s a training tool for drill work off the tee and soft toss. The 22″ length suits some two-handed drills, but it isn’t meant for full game swings against live pitching.

Does it need to be broken in?

No break-in is required — it’s ready for drill work right away. As with any wood bat, treating it well helps it last.

Is it covered by a warranty?

Wood bats can break with use, and warranty coverage varies — please check the current terms at checkout. It’s built from durable Northern White Ash by a brand players have trusted for generations.

Do you ship outside the United States?

We ship to baseball markets including the USA, Canada, and Mexico, with free standard shipping. Check the cart for options to your location.
