Rawlings 318 Player Preferred Ash Wood Baseball Bat RPA6318

The classic ash gamer that hits ropes and costs less than a tank of gas.

Rawlings kept it simple and deadly with the Player Preferred 318: pro-grade Northern White Ash carved into a balanced, medium-barrel profile that’s been turning singles into doubles for decades. Big 2.5" barrel, thin 29/32" handle, and a flared knob give you that traditional ash whip with plenty of hitting surface—perfect for the hitter who loves feel, flex, and that unmistakable wood “CRACK” that carries over the fence. Natural finish with black branding, cupped end for perfect balance, and a price tag that makes it the smartest wood bat in any dugout.
