It is a pro-level maple hybrid with a poplar core, which cuts weight for a light swing that stays easy rep after rep. The length lets a coach toss and hit with a smooth, controlled stroke to place ground balls and fly balls where players need them. It comes in five barrel colors: black, navy, orange, royal and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaple Hybrid Build With a Poplar Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fungo is swung hundreds of times in a single practice, so weight matters more than anything else. Mizuno pairs a maple exterior with a lighter poplar core, keeping the firm maple feel at contact while making the bat light enough to swing all afternoon without wearing out the coach's arms and shoulders. The thin, long profile is what makes a fungo different from a game bat: it is made for control and repetition, not for driving pitched balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVersatile for Infield and Outfield Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 37 inches, the Pro Fungo has the reach for long fly balls to the outfield and the control for precise ground balls to the infield. Coaches use one bat for a full practice, from quick fungo rounds to the corners to deep flies to the fence. The length and light swing make it easier to place the ball consistently, so drills run at a steady pace and players get more quality reps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Gloss Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel has a rich, furniture-grade high gloss finish over a natural handle, so the bat looks sharp in the dugout and is easy to pick out of a bat rack. Five colors make it simple to match school or team colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing and Caring for a Wood Fungo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse leather baseballs; dimpled machine balls and rubber cage balls are hard on wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToss the ball up and let the bat do the work with a smooth, level stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid hitting in very cold weather, when wood is more likely to crack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the bat indoors, away from heat and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Fungo Bat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh school, college and travel baseball coaches running infield and outfield practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouth coaches who want a light fungo that is easy to control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParents hitting ground balls and fly balls to players at the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrograms that want fungos in team colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMizuno Pro Fungo 37 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: 340626\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 37 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: maple hybrid with poplar core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwing weight: lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: high gloss, furniture-grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: black, navy, orange, royal, red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: fungo and practice bat, not for game play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSport: baseball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSet Up Your Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fungo-bats\"\u003efungo bats\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
