Every Monday we’d like you to meet someone new around here at JustBats.com. Get to know us a little better! Meet Jodi! Jodi is one of our Accountants and she makes sure that the money around here gets handled and the numbers get input correctly! Here is what makes Jodi tick.

1. How long have you worked here at JustBats.com?
I have worked here for two years
2. Tell us a little bit about what you do here at JustBats.com.
I have two main responsibilities. I work directly for Scott. That means doing whatever is needed so he can focus on growing the company. And I work for the accounting department. I mainly input invoices into NAV so they can be paid.
3. What do you like most about working at JustBats.com?
The best part about working here is the atmosphere. The people make it very team oriented.
4. As an accountant you are probably use to dealing with a lot of numbers, can that ever get overwhelming?
I don't get crushed by the numbers because I mainly input them. However, there are times I have to act like a detective to find out if an invoice is correct and if we received what we are being billed for.
5. What words of advice do you have for anyone coming into your line of work?
Be flexible to do whatever is asked of you.
6. What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I love sports. I like both watching and playing. Mainly though, I go to my kids activities. I support them in what they are involved with.....which right now is a lot of dance.
7. Give us your favorite memory you have since working at JustBats.com.
I like Opening Day at JustBats.com. It is our own personal holiday. It is fun to have the ball park atmosphere brought into JustBats.com for the day.
8. What is your favorite sport and team?
I grew up playing softball and volleyball; but I like to watch football and baseball. KC teams are my favorites.
9. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I would love to live somewhere warm year round. But I would never give up living away from the rest of my family.
10. How did you hear about JustBats.com?
Mr. Scott Hedrick told me about his company a little bit at a time. I was so impressed with his passion for his business and for those who worked for him I knew I had to take a risk to become part of his team at JustBats.com.

Confused about which kind of bat to buy based on your age? We made up this little chart to help you out. This is for baseball players only and there are six major categories we use to determine which kind of bat you should buy: Tee-Ball, Coach Pitch, Junior Big Barrel, Youth Big Barrel, Youth and Adult. We hope this helps, you can always comment to ask questions or head to JustBats.com and click on the Bat Coach for more information!

Around here at JustBats.com we live and breathe baseball, but there is no denying the passion in our hearts for other sports as well, and right now March Madness is consuming the office. Predictions, brackets and hopes and dreams make up for a lot of the talk you'll hear around JustBats.com. Of course basketball isn't the only thing people are talking about. March is an extremely busy month for us because baseball season is just around the corner and everybody is gearing up with the latest bats to start the season off right. While your busy researching which bat is going to get you the most hits and put you on base the most this season, we are busy filling orders and researching the latest and greatest in the bat world.

You will find everything you need for this upcoming season at JustBats.com and we would love to hear how your new bats are working for you coming up this season. Tell us, what are your top picks for bats this year?

Every month we would like to introduce you to a department at JustBats.com. Each department around here plays a key role in making sure everything runs smoothly and you get your bats in a timely manner, while having a great experience shopping with us. Meet the Accounting team, this department keeps the finances straight and makes sure not a penny goes unnoticed!

1. Tell us a little bit about the Accounting team.
Right now there are four members of the accounting team, they are Jodi Smith, Mark Reineke, Pam Reynolds and Stephanie Garcia
2. What kind of responsibilities does each person in Accounting take on everyday?
The accounting department is responsible for entering payables, receivables, updating reports, bank reconciliations and many other things.
3. Are there any major challenges you face daily, weekly or even monthly with handling the financial aspects of JustBats.com?
One of the major challenges we face is making sure everything is entered and getting the month-end-close done on time.
4. What would you say you look for the most in someone wanting to join the Accounting team?
Being very detail oriented is an important quality to have in our department. Without that, the financials probably would not be very accurate.
5. We all know with work there has to be some play, tell us about some of the perks of being in accounting.
Our department is pretty small so we are a pretty close group. We all know a lot about each other and we joke around a lot.
6. Handling money can often times be overwhelming, how do you and your team stay organized?
We have good systems setup to make sure that nothing gets missed.
7. What is the best part about being on the accounting team here at JustBats.com?
We have a lot of very important deadlines in our department that require us to work very well as a team. We are always willing to help each other out to make sure that we meet those deadlines. It's great to work with a group of people that are fun to be around and that you can count on.
