Gold Stock Wood Composite

# Baum Gold Stock Baseball Bat


Baum’s wood bats are justifiably well-known for their composite technology. The Gold Stock model is the premium composite option within Baum’s lineup, featuring advanced materials designed to improve player performance while also adhering to the standards of wood bat leagues and tournaments. The Gold Stock rigorously mimics the feel of traditional wood bats without sacrificing the longevity and durability provided by modern composite materials.

Since their debut in 1993, Baum has successfully blended the classic aesthetics and feel of wood bats with the unmatched resilience of composite technology. The result offers a consistent, high-quality experience at the plate—and a competitive edge for serious athletes.

**Perfect bat for:** High school, collegiate, and professional athletes who value the traditional feel of a wood bat but require the resilience and consistent performance of composite technology.


###  
Key features include: 




* **Advanced Composite Wood Construction:** Ensures durability far beyond traditional wood bats, facilitating intense training and competition schedules. 
**BBCOR Certification:** Makes these bats a viable choice for high school and college players, adhering to league regulations.
* **Consistent Performance:** Engineered for a uniform, balanced feel that promotes a smooth swing and precise control.
* **Natural Wood Bat Aesthetics:** Offers players the classic look and feel of a wood bat with the advantages of composite technology. 
**Large Sweet Spot:** Designed to enhance contact, power, and accuracy, increasing a player's confidence at the plate.
* **Ambidextrous Design:** The Baum Gold Stock can be hit from any angle without risk of damage, unlike traditional wood bats, extending its usable life. 



### Top competitors comparison: [Victus V-Cut Maple](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/brand-victus/v-cut-34/l378387) and the [Mizuno Bamboo Elite](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/mizuno/bamboo-elite/l60030)

The Baum Gold Stock series sets itself apart from competitors like the Victus V-Cut Maple and the Mizuno Bamboo Elite by merging wood's authentic feel and performance with composite durability. While the Victus and Mizuno models offer specialized designs for power and speed, the Baum Gold Stock's unique composite wood construction delivers notable durability and a balanced swing weight. This makes it an ideal choice for heavy hitters and frequent players who require a high-performance bat that withstands the test of time and intense usage.


### Progression of Baum Gold Stock Baseball Bat

Specific annual iterations like those common in metal or composite bat lines are not as explicitly defined for models like the Gold Stock, given the nature of wood and composite wood bat manufacturing and regulation. 



### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* The bat is solid and well-balanced, with a flared knob that feels good in the hands. Thanks to its +/- sweet spot, the ball jumps off the bat.
* My son used a Baum Gold bat for years in select ball and in college. The bat lasted for 7 years of playing year-round baseball. These bats have fantastic pop, you can hear it off the bat. He hit just under 600 for the tournament.
* Bought Gold stock for 16-year-old son on coaches' recommendation (former MLB players). Broke other brands' wood bats in 30 days hitting machine balls. Coaches suggested Baum bat.

**CONS**



* Two Baum bats broke during early spring games as the outer shell deteriorated, possibly due to the cold.
* The bat I received had several "air bubbles" in the paint. Additionally, there was a smooth and flat spot where the serial number is located. However, considering the price I paid, I expected better quality control."
* We had a chip come off the end cap where it meets the barrel, and we'll send it back before the warranty expires to get it fixed.


### **Certification**: BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The Baum Gold Stock is a specialty wood bat made of maple. It has a very high-performance design for a player who uses wood a lot. It features the max legal BBCOR barrel size of around 2.5 inches. It's a bat that is often used for winter training or summer ball. The Bomb Gold Stock is durable and will last you forever.

Pro Preferred

### Expert Notes
Rawlings Pro Preferred models have been my standard for top-notch baseball gloves ever since I knew what baseball was. And the newest 2023 Pro Preferred releases utilize the same world-class kip leather and sheepskin palm lining that initially convinced me that Pro Preferred’s are the world’s most comfortable glove. Not to mention that Rawlings offers player-specific models for guys like Mike Trout, Ronald Acuña, Kris Bryant and Gerrit Cole—ever heard of them? Ever since the series’ beginning, Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves have been, well, preferred by the pros. And those MLB stars surely know a thing or two about what a great baseball glove should consist of. I trust their judgment. You should, too.

Heart of the Hide

### Expert Notes
An iconic brand’s most iconic glove. Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves are famous for the top-grade, USA steerhide leather they’re crafted from, which makes for a firm and sturdy glove that so many players love. Over time, Heart of the Hide gloves have been remodeled to make them easier to break in and cater more towards players’ specific tastes. The newest Heart of the Hide release is Rawlings’ ‘Gameday 57’ series, which celebrates the MLB’s annual “Gold Glove Award” (introduced in 1957), by individually numbering each model—making every glove a one-of-one collector’s item and on-field gem. When we recall what made us fall in love with baseball, HoH comes to mind.

### Expert Notes
Wilson’s A2000 glove series has been a baseball staple since it was first released in 1957, and used by Ted Williams and Ernie Banks. We players have always known A2000’s for their Pro Stock leather’s durability, which continues to evolve and improve over time. In recent years, Wilson has started to combine the A2000’s legendary Pro Stock leather with a new SuperSkin material, which makes gloves more lightweight, moisture-resistant and twice as durable. And Wilson’s most recent A2000 release, the 2024 Love the Moment 1786 model, was designed to share a message of understanding and acceptance for people with autism. Even though my playing days are done, that alone makes me want to buy this glove. Regardless of which position you play, there’s a perfect Wilson A2000 glove available for you.

CF Zen Composite

### Expert Notes
To me, Wilson A2K baseball gloves have always represented tradition, luxury, and world-class performance. The most recent 2023 A2K models are offering a brand new SuperSkin material along with Wilson’s patented Spin Control technology, which is a dimple pattern in the glove’s leather sections that I think looks really neat, which also reduces the ball’s spin rate upon contact. Though I know many fielders who favor the classic, Pro Stock leather gloves that made A2K’s highly sought after from 2015-2020. Ever since their initial release in 2007, A2K gloves have been handcrafted by the world’s best glovemakers, who cater to the desires of professional baseball players that I’d imagine know a thing or two about gloves. If you’re looking for a glove your peers will adore for its look and on-field performance, look no further than a Wilson A2K glove.

Renegade

### Expert Notes
Rawlings Renegade gloves are perfect for kids who are still versatile enough to play
every position on the field. The most recent Renegade models evolved from older
versions by including a Velcro wrist strap that makes for an easy fit, a pro mesh back
design that I’ve heard youth players are enamored with, and a black, red, and gray
colorway that I’m sure will accent any team’s jersey colors. Yet, newer Renegade
models mirror the older by using the same full-grain leather, deep pocket, and palm pad
for added protection. The Rawlings Renegade glove series covers all the bases and
should continue to be a first choice for you parents out there who value their kids’
safety—and for kids who want a sweet piece of leather.
