it’s interesting but it also heavily depends on who and really how many teams you sponsor.

It would be a lot more interesting if it wasn't a blind link from a guys first post.

InB4 all the BR travel ball dads flock here to tell you that Marruci is the best bat company ever

Louisville Slugger and Demarini make much better bats

I remember a lot of people wanting a black magic when I was about 10 years old.

People will counter with “it’s just the top 300 players” but that just means they don’t understand how sampling works.

Actually the king of 12U-13U travel ball bats is the latest bat by Easton.

The Easton Dub, drop 5 or 8, USSSA bat. Should be made illegal soon.

The stats mirror what people who test and rank these bats say. Marucci isn't the worst but is in the middle of the pack and specifically for power maybe lower 3rd. They need to work on more end loaded bats that help with back spin and exit velocity.

I'd like to see the percentage used for each of the bats instead of total HR.

Correct. The information in the graphic, while interesting, is not really meaningful without knowing more about distribution

This

If the majority of teams use the top bat, these stats are worthless.

I don't remember the year. But I remember hearing that the last X number of CWS champs had used Easton bats. This was definitely before the bbcor crap came out.

Literally none of the kids want a Marruci. It’s all Easton Dub, Easton Hype Fire, Soldier Tank, or the Icon. lol

Yes. I hardly ever see a kid swinging marruci in 12u or 13u ball. My son will be moving to BBCOR drop 3 shortly so i need to look into the options for those.

Very few teams swing Combat I think only Miss St in the SEC I think Marucci is swung more than Rawlings as well... The bats just don't have the same pop as the other top manufacturers off BBCOR bats at the moment it's ok the admit it.

The interesting thing is that the third bat is a budget bat at $250.
