A new high-tech scanning machine was unveiled in Portland on Wednesday. The bat scanner, developed by Dove Tail and Livermore Falls-based software company Newfangled Solutions, can make ultra-precise measurements of a player’s stick, then send the info to the Piscataquis County bat manufacturing facility via the internet, where the player’s beloved ball-walloper can be reproduced and shipped overnight to a player. Dove Tail Bats, which began manufacturing baseball bats in 2007, produced over 30,000 bats in 2022 in Shirley, Maine.
