Superior Bat CoFounded by Garnett Beck in 1920, Superior Bat Co. is a historic American bat maker whose name is tied to an early laminated-bat patent and a later hand-operated shop in Chesterfield, Indiana. The company returned in 2003 in Jamestown, where its A-Bat brand made wooden bats for major leaguers before serving everyday baseball and softball players. After changing hands in the early 2020s, the brand was relaunched by the Kreindler family’s Red Eye Elephant Group.JAMESTOWN, NY
