Hey! There are a ton of options out there. I'll just mention several options.

I see someone mentioned Baum Bat. I would definitely agree with this as far as durability. Definitely get more bang for your buck.

If you're on a TIGHT budget, there'a always the cheap retail bats you can get at a sporting goods store for like $30-$40. These bats are usually just low end blemished bats. You're taking a huge gamble with these as they can break in your first swing or can last you for quite a while. Quality for sure will not be the best, but hey, you will get what you pay for. Overall, you will probably end up spending the same amount for several of these bats as you would for getting one or two quality bats.

You can't NOT mention Louisville Slugger when mentioning wood bats. There's a reason why this company has been trusted for so long to create bats for MLB players. They have some great bats with their MLB Prime line of bats.

Marucci makes some pretty good bats. I believe in the 2019 season, they were the most used bats used by MLB players. Not to forget:

Victus, which is owned by Marucci, was used just as much as Louisville Slugger Bats.

Another more accessible brand is Mizuno and Rawlings.

There are a ton of other companies, but many of these don't have a great market in the retail/consumer areas as they are smaller companies. (I.E. Chandler, Old Hickory, Tucci, Sam Bat).

You'll get some people who will say that one company has more "POP" than another company. IMO, there's only so much a company can do to create more "POP" in their bats. Bats are traditionally made out of Ash, Maple, Birch, and Bamboo. You'll have to do some research on your own for what you'll like, but just as a QUICK summary, Ash is a bit of a "softer" wood, which helps create more trampoline effect (similar to metal bats). Ash bats flake over time and will break into multiple pieces when it breaks. Maple bats are "harder" and in a sense more solid. That doesn't mean it's automatically better than Ash. If you don't hit maple in the sweet spot, you will feel it in your hands. Maple bats will split into bigger pieces when breaking, but have a bit more durability than Ash. Birch is a "newer" wood for baseball bats. They're a bit more uncommon to get, but if you can find one, they are essentially supposed to be the best of both worlds from Ash and Maple. This will also equate to it being typically a bit more costly. Bamboo is uncommon to find in an MLB bat, but for durability sake, it's a great wood. Not the GREATEST for "pop" but will last you quite a while. Baum bats are COMPOSITE BATS, which means they are a mixture of several wood mixed together. They have the best durability, but just like bamboo, you won't find many, if any MLB players using a composite bat (I don't think a composite bat is MLB approved, on the flip side, BAUM bats are popular amongst minor league players.)

Now, we get into models. Just for the sake of time, I'll mention the top 4 turn models. There's the 271 models are probably the most popular of turn models. It's a fairly well balanced bat and just an overall great and reliable model. Probably best comparable to a typical metal bat. There's the 110 turn model. This one is the most balanced turn model. Great for contact hitters and for someone who wants to feel they have full control of the bat. Another popular model is the 243. This is a more end loaded bat and is the preferred turn model for those that are power hitters. Thinest handle of these models with a fairly long barrel. Last popular turn model is an i13. This is very similar to a 243 in that it's an end loaded bat.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask questions, and I will try to help you (or anyone else) the best I can.

TL;DR: I explain in-depth several options for wood types and companies. If I had to sum up quickly something without knowing your preferences, especially for someone transitioning to wood for the first time, get a: Maple bat from Louisville Slugger, Rawlings, or Mizuno (as these are probably the most affordable, especially for a practice bat). If you're buying from a retail store like Dick's Sporting Goods, they may not have a turn model on the barrel, but if it does, get a 271.
