The first standard baseball bat was not mass-produced until 1884.
In the mid-1800s players began seeking out the help of professional woodworkers to help them design and shape baseball bats. Bats were often made from wagon tongues and included unique designs and materials specific to that player’s style. This means that bats were often made of whatever scrap wood was lying around. Players could make bats however they wanted. In the 1800’s baseball players traditionally made their own bats.
