Description

The Brett Brothers entered the bat business with the goal of ensuring that coaches at all levels of baseball have access to superior quality composite wood bats that are cost effective. Consistency and durability were the primary factors when establishing their bat designs. The Brett Brothers have been involved in baseball their entire lives, through Bobby and John's Minor League careers to the Professional careers of Ken and George. The Brett Brothers understood that having reliable wood was an important component. Fungos are specifically designed for coaches to easily hit ground balls and fly balls for infield or outfield practice. Coaches know that hitting ground balls and fly balls to their team can be tiring. The unique shape of fungo bats makes them light weight and extremely easy to swing without wearing your arms out. The fungo bat will make it feel like you are swinging a bat that is a fraction of the weight of a normal bat and will give you extra distance even when you swing easy. Fungos have become favorite among coaches because of their lightweight, durability and they are easy to use. This bat is constructed of durable Maple Wood. Brett Brothers: The Very Best in Baseball!

3 Year review 36" Fungo Hogan Coach

Pros: Overall a great Fungo. When purchased, I had no knowledge of this brand and knew no one who was using one. I coach travel ball in the Houston, TX area. This fungo has held up great with year round use for infield and outfield. Sends hard grounders and long pop ups without taxing the user too much. Finish has held up well. Its developed some "beauty marks," but its a tool. If it doesn't look used, than it probably wasn't. No cracking, splitting, or signs of weakness (other than a slight bend above the hands). I did tape about 6-8 inches of the barrel, which may have helped with durability over time. I would not think twice about buying another. This fungo does its job, as long as I do mine!

Cons: I had to put a Vuk grip on the handle to keep the bat from slipping out of sweaty hands (minor problem as I prefer a grip anyways). Bat developed a slight bend within the first few months of use. It has not really affected performance, but i get comments about having a crooked stick. I am conscience of the bend and tend to rotate the bat to the same position for consistent hits. Again, minor, but probably should not have happened.

Fragile Jason Coach

Pros: Great for outfield hitting. Well balanced. Easy to hit flyballs.

Cons: Very fragile. I would only recommend this for experienced fungo users. Hitting the ball on the handle or taper will cause the bat to crack, as mine did. I have about a year and a half of fungo experience, but I still hit on the handle from time to time. It doesn't take much to crack this bat. If you can consistently hit on the barrel, this would be a great bat for you. If not, it's too fragile, and you'll break it. Maybe adding grip tape to the whole handle and taper would help protect it from the impact.

Great Fungo Brandon Coach

Pros: Let me first say that this is an excellent fungo. I can hit fly balls all day to the outfield. It's a little harder for me to hit ground balls. I have to focus on hitting the ball in the ground, or I would hit a line drive.

Cons: I hit a ball just above the hands, and it was done. I think that the handle is a little bit too narrow. So if you hit it at the hands, it might be game over.

Pros: Looks great. Feels great.

Cons: Broke on the first day using it. Was saving it for baseball practice but read the review that it should be fine for hitting softballs as well. So I did. IT WASN'T. Snapped at the handle very early in. You live and learn I guess.

Pros: Super lightweight Good/Very good pop Great ball control/accuracy Beautiful finish and quality material

Cons: - Nothing to avoid purchasing this bat! - Like most quality fungos, the handle is super smooth/slippery due to great finish/material, so definitely need to customize it to your liking (lizard skin, pine tar etc)

Brett brothers maple wood fungo bat Big Jeff coach

Pros: Excellent finish on this bat. Bought this in navy blue and it almost looks to good to use! Very affordable for what I consider a high end quality fungo bat. Bat is light and has good pop. I coach a high school and travel fastpitch softball teams. Best fungo bat I've ever used.

Cons: The handle is a little slick in feel. I put a batting grip on mine and that did the trick. A simple fix.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Brett Bros. 36" Maple Wood Fungo Baseball Bat: BBOFUNGO? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

What length is this bat? Coach Ab
These fungos are 36" in length.
Kyle J.
Do you really need an outfield fungo bat and an infield? What is the difference? Dan
One does not need both an outfield and infield fungo as a coach. The Brett Bros. Maple Outfield Fungo Wood Baseball Bat: BBOFUNGO could work for either situation. The difference between the two would be the length. Using a longer bat can make it somewhat easier on those that are constantly having to hit fly balls while a shorter bat is more ideal for consistent infield work.
Cameron
What is the recommendation for taping the barrel of this bat? I know that it would be a must with an ash fungo to extend the life of the bat. Would there be any benefits to taping this maple bat? Jay
To tape the barrel of the Brett Bros. Maple Outfield Fungo Wood Baseball Bat: BBOFUNGO we would recommend using a single layer of athletic tape. Where you start and end is completely personal preference but we would recommend focusing on the small area of the barrel that will be used to hit the baseball. As mentioned, since this fungo is maple one does not necessarily need to tape the barrel but it certainly would not hurt the fungo if one did so.
Cameron
What is the barrel diameter? Jim
A fungo bat, like the Brett Bros. Maple 36" Fungo Wood Baseball Bat: BBOFUNGO, are not listed with a barrel diameter unfortunately. The barrel diameter will typically be around 2 1/4".
Cameron
Are these bats OK for hitting softballs? Dave
While the Brett Bros. 36" Maple Wood Fungo Baseball Bat: BBOFUNGO was not specifically engineered to hit softballs, the bat should still perform well when hitting softballs.
Leeah
Can you use this for with softballs? Ambrose
We would not suggest using this bat with softballs

About the Brand

The Brett Brothers “entered the bat business with the goal of ensuring that coaches at all levels of baseball have access to superior quality composite wood bats that are cost effective." The Brett Brothers have been involved in baseball their entire lives. We are four brothers and all of us played professional ball at one time. Bobby and John played in the Minor Leagues, and Ken and George together put in 31 years in the Major Leagues.

Not only did we play baseball because we were good, we truly loved the game. Even today we closely follow the sport. George still works for the Kansas City Royals. Ken has been a broadcaster for 11 years with Fox. Bobby runs our professional franchises here in Spokane, the baseball Indians and the hockey Chiefs. The oldest brother John is a frequent visitor here to see his brothers and watch our teams play.

Like most baseball families, it all started in a small Southern California town call El Segundo. The boys are all about two years apart, and we had some kind of sporting event about every night. I remember most of our family meals were hot dogs, and everything was on the fly. Our parents were always there to cheer for us, and our lives were generally very happy.

Ken was the first to sign a pro contract at age 17. He was the fourth player taken in the annual draft by the Boston Red Sox. When their scout Joe Stephenson came to sign him, our dad said, "the one you really want is the skinny, barefooted one, George." George in 1966 was all of 12 years old.

If you move up the clock to 1971, George was a senior, and Joe Stephenson desperately wanted him to be Boston's #1 pick. The Red Sox said no, and the Kansas City Royals took George in round #2. The rest is history. Ken played 11 years for numerous teams. George turned out to be exactly the player our late father envisioned. He was a 3-time winner of the Batting Title in three different decades. He was very consistent, and always played the game very hard. He was the greatest Royal, and still makes his home in Kansas City. In the summer of 1999, he was awarded Baseball's highest award, election to the Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

In the spring of 1998, the Tridiamond Bat Company needed a place to "try out" their new baseball bats. Because the Bretts owned the only local professional team, an association was formed. When Tridiamond got both NCAA and Major League approval to sell bats, they needed some baseball help. At this time we bought into the company and changed the name to Brett Bats.
