We have found over the years that after all the quality checks at each step of the process, still only about 60% of all the billets we produce make the grade for a Major League bat. We control the process from logging to shipping the final product to our customers. We are vertically integrated throughout the entire process from the trees to the logs to the mill to the drying kilns to producing the billets that are turned on our CNC lathes.
