Early stage presenter: John MacDougall, MacDougall and Sons Bat Company
“CRACK!”  The classic sound of a base hit off a wood bat.  In 2008, John MacDougall, a custom home builder for 30 years, decided to apply his architectural knowledge and wood-working skills to the design of the best wood bat ever, developing patent-protected technology the Baseball Research Center says yields bats 5-1 0 times more durable than solid wood bats. The company is in production, has achieved initial sales, and seeks financing to grow.
