What’s with
the Ink Spot on my new bat!
Beginning in 2009, Major
League Baseball required all its approved bat
manufacturers place an ink spot on Maple and Birch bats.
This spot will be found on the handle 12” above the knob
of the bat on the tangential or face grain in order to
reveal the slope of grain. Additionally, labels will
now be placed on the longitudinal axis or side grain for
the Maple and Birch bats.
When the ink is placed on
the wood it will bleed into the wood along the grain
fibers revealing the grain direction. If the slope of
grain runs more than 3 degrees from parallel to the axis
of the bat, it should not be considered for use in MLB.
