Why is it called the Dugout Mug? Back in 2014 while coaching at Florida Tech, Randall Thompson (the inventor of the very first bat mug) was sitting in the dugout and listening to the hitting coach tell the guys to “FOCUS ON THE HANDS.” To emphasize his point, the coach cut off the top of a baseball bat and left the barrel sitting on the bench… BOOM! The idea hit Randall like a 12th inning walk-off, “I could definitely drink from a bat!” he said to himself… The rest is history!
