Our Review
Marucci's debut USA bat carries over the AZ105 alloy, AV2 knob, and multi-variable wall design from its successful BBCOR and travel lineups. It swings easy and feels true to a -10, with pop about the same as a Slugger Solo -11, which is good for a USA bat. The barrel is a hair smaller at 2 1/2" to keep it light, but don't let that deter you. My son still chose his -12 Rawlings Quatro Pro for most at bats.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Proven AZ105 alloy allows thin walls and strong barrel response
- AV2 anti-vibration knob controls sting in the hands
- Multi-variable wall design for a larger sweet spot and added durability
- Balanced, easy swing that feels true to a -10 drop
Cons
- Slightly smaller 2 1/2" barrel than the max allowed
- Pop only about on par with the Louisville Slugger Solo -11
