Video Transcript

"Hey it's Tony Naile I want to talk today how to care for your wooden bat. This is a great common sense answer to this. Just keep your bat clean. If you use fine tar or any kind of gripping substance on your bat, try to clean it after each and every day. Use a substance with rubbing alcohol, cleans it better than most things. Keep it dry. Keep it bagged. When you're storing your bat over the winter use keep it stored in the same temperature as much as you can year around. If your using your bat in batting practice, we like to use ankle tape on the hitting surface of the bat. Keep from breaking your bat. Also if you're going to, the best to have the same model bat, the same weight bat exactly as you can, and use your game bat for games and your other bat for batting practice. You need six or seven bats, have your Dad buy you some. Just care for your bat keeping it clean, keeping your hand grips on there keeping it stored in good temperature is the best thing I can tell you is just and don't loan it out to people that might break it. These bats are very expensive, very important to you. This is how you make your living. Thank you."
