Stinger's Story

Stinger's Story

Stinger's Story

Turnin' & Burnin': Co-founder Sean Eighmey flame tempering an early Stinger custom at our first bat shop, aka his garage in Corning, NY. Stinger's wood bat operations moved to Big Flats, NY in 2021 along with a brand-new bat shop!

2015: Stinger Is Born Through A Mission

Co-founder Sean Eighmey (Seen left) is a baseball coach, enthusiast & parent. As a parent, he saw first-hand the rising costs of baseball equipment, specifically wood bats. His solution to the problem, buy a lathe and make his own wood bats for his son, teammates & community. Bats that not only held up to the competition, but were half the price.

Co-founder Brandon Eaton, a fellow baseball enthusiast, parent and entrepreneur connected with Sean's vision. The opportunity to merge his love for baseball & entrepreneurial expertise was too good to be true. They teamed up to turn this passionate cause into a business.

While Stinger is now well-known for more than just wood bats, it all started with passionate baseball dads who had a vision to help the baseball world.

2016: Another Problem, Another Solution

Rising equipment costs were not the only problem plaguing baseball. Expensive equipment didn't last and suffered from poor durability. This problem was most evident in batting gloves. Players wearing torn batting gloves became the norm, as parents either couldn't afford or simply didn't want to buy more gloves, just for them to rip again.

Stinger aimed to making the absolute best-performing and most-durable batting gloves possible. A glove that players could depend on for thousands of swings.

We use the highest-quality sheepskin leather in the world. Double-stitch every seam to prevent ripping. All with our patented Secure Seam Technology that extends a single piece of leather from the back of the hand to the front of the palm, creating a seamless area where most gloves tear. Stinger batting gloves were awarded Best of Show at the ABCA coaches convention for performance & durability.

2016: Put The "S" On Your Chest

Our mission didn't stop at equipment. Many of the same issues players faced with equipment, families faced with uniforms. Higher-end uniforms were expensive and offered little value, where cheaper options sacrificed quality and were unreliable.

Stinger uniforms launched in 2016 to solve these problems. We pride ourselves on offering the best blend of quality, affordability & customer service available in the uniform space. 

To date, Stinger has helped +10,000 teams across all major sports receive the most value out of their uniform budgets.

2020: Stinger BBCOR Is On The Map

Along with everything else in baseball, the cost of high-performing BBCOR bats were sky-rocketing. With prices reaching as high as +$500, there was an obvious need for an affordable BBCOR.

Stinger launched its first BBCOR, the NUKE, in 2020 for $229.99. The great price, along with a #3 ranking from the Baseball Bat Bros, made it the bat to have in 2020 and made Stinger a name to be known in BBCOR.

We followed that up in 2021 with a #2 ranking for the Missile 2, and have had a bat in the Baseball Bat Bros top-10 BBCOR list every year since. We have maintained this consistent performance because every Stinger BBCOR is the result of dozens of prototypes, thousands of swings & countless feedback from players.

A Tradition of Excellence: Since our first BBCOR in 2020, Stinger has had a bat inside the Baseball Bat Bros (YouTube) top-10 BBCOR list every year!
