The model helps the brand return to its wood-bat ties
Marucci, once known as a wood-bat brand, wants to return to those roots with the release of its 2018 BBCOR aluminum bat line. With that release comes, for the first time, a Posey28 Pro Metal bat, along with an update to the award-winning CAT7 line and the fresh F5.
The Posey28, named for Giants star Buster Posey, gives the CAT7 technology a change of pace in terms of cosmetics, says Ryder Dupuis, product category manager for aluminum/composite bats. “Being a baseball brand that grew from a wood bat-only company to now being the number-one bat in the big leagues,” he says, “we felt like paying homage to our roots, the wood bat.”
