Victus Sports, a leading baseball bat company, has come a long way from its humble beginnings in a small garage in central Pennsylvania in 2012. The company’s CEO, Jared Smith, along with two friends, initially focused on producing high quality clubs with a commitment to prompt service and customer satisfaction. They wanted to show players that they care about their needs and deliver their clubs on time.
But how did they get their bats to Major League Baseball (MLB) players? Smith and his friends capitalized on their connections to minor league players by supplying them with Victus clubs. Eventually, during spring training or squad calls, MLB players would come across these bats and try them out. Kyle Seager was the first known MLB player to use a Victus bat, followed by Adam Jones praising the company on MLB Network for their custom camo bats.
With a presence in the world of great baseball players, Victus has managed to branch out and pursue their vision of creating unique and visually appealing bats. They moved to larger facilities and began producing bats for special events like the Home Run Derby, creating intricately designed bats that garnered attention and compliments. The artist behind these unique bats is Bruce Tatem, also known as The Bat King, who translates his airbrush expertise into bat making into incredibly detailed paint work.
Today Victus Sports operates a 30,000 square meter facility with 50 employees. It has become one of the leading bat companies in the industry, with MLB stars looking for their custom bats for special occasions. The company continues to push boundaries and innovate, always striving to contribute to the growth and development of the game they love.
