The Marucci Bat Company™ takes pride in turning top quality wooden baseball bats in the same tradition and precise technique of the earliest bat companies. Every Marucci Bat™ is cut, calibrated, balanced, buffed and lacquered by hand. The Marucci Bat Company™ used top grade Maple billets cut from selected, naturally grown trees in Pennsylvania forests. This selection process insures the highest possible grade of wood for each bat. The Marucci Bat Company™ bats are 100 percent handmade or turned in small batches from an original design, then finished and detailed by hand. Each model is made to exacting specifications maximizing balance and ease of handling. The Marucci Bat Company™ uses an Ultra Penetrating Stain that provides the best possible finish for your next Marucci Bat. Most impressive is the Bone Rubbing technique that The Marucci Bat Company™ uses. `Boning` bats began in the earliest days of baseball with players like Babe Ruth and Lou Gerig. These Hall-of-Famers would spend hours in their dugouts rubbing their bats with old cow femur bones. Bone Rubbing closes the wood`s pores, compressing it and making it harder. Marucci uses the same technique on their bats, rubbing before the finish is applied to seal and harden the wood. Just another example of how Marucci takes the same pride in their bats as our baseball heroes once did. Experience the excellence of a Marucci Bat. Free Shipping!

Ask QuestionAre all of these bats bone rubbed?
Asked by robbinson on Sep 27, 2010
Yes they have all been put through the process. Its a process that closes the pores to compress the wood and make it harder, giving it more pop.

is this bat asa approved and does it have the asa 2004 label
Asked by george on Mar 09, 2011
This particular model does not have the 2004 label; however, all maple wood softball bats are approved for ASA play based on the ASA governing body.

How much does it weigh?
Asked by Lily on Apr 12, 2011
This bat is approximately a -6 bat. If you bought a 34 inch bat, then the weight would be approximately 28 ounces.
· Apr 12, 2011
If this bat is ASA approved why doesn't it have the certification marks or have "official softball" stamped on it?
Asked by Big Blue on May 21, 2011
Most leagues don’t require wood bats to be stamped which as a result many manufacturers don't stamp their wood bats even though they are approved.
· May 23, 2011
According to ASA, only non-wood bats require the appropriate ASA certification mark. If a wood softball bat does not have the ASA stamp or if it does not say "offical softball" it is usually left to the discretion of the umpire. I've rarely heard of or seen any issues with wood softball bats though.
· May 23, 2011
We are having major discussion on Marucci Woods bats because they do not meet the requirements of ASA rule 3-1 and it is not listed on the approved equipment list. They have asked all the way up to the State UIC and he says the bat is illegal. My real question I guess would be where to we find proof of this claim that all maple bats are ASA approved by the governing body. Do you have a link or contact. Thanks!
Asked by Big Blue on May 24, 2011
Unfortunately, according to ASA website all bats have to have the ASA stamp. So even though all wood would pass ASA standards, because they don't have the stamp, there is no guarentee that it would be allowed.

what's the weight on this model? (KA23)
Asked by thecount26 on Sep 15, 2011
It is an approximate drop 6, so the 34" would be a 28oz.
· Sep 15, 2011
if i was to purchase this bat, is it possible to get OFFICIAL SOFTBALL printed on it? I noticed this one did not have it on it. My league requires that it be stamped that way, thanx

Does this bat come in a heavier weight???
Asked by Joel on Nov 17, 2011
This specific bat does not come in a heavier size. The weights in wood bats are approximate, each one could be a little heavier or a little lighter, due to the moisture in the wood.
· Nov 17, 2011
