It scares me that it says made for 8 years and under, only because one comment I saw said it was not good for balls thrown faster than 30 mph. Is there any truth to that or do you have any insight on this? BRAD
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB), like all Junior Big Barrel bats, are designed specifically for Coach Pitch only. The 30 mph comment is based on the fact that Coach Pitch speeds typically do not exceed that speed. These bats should not be used in Kid Pitch, as the speeds that can be reached will cause durability issues.
Jason
Why is bat recommended for ages 8 and under? Henry
Junior Big Barrel models, like this 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB), are recommended for players 8 and under because they have thinner barrel walls than Senior League models. This type of bat helps a player increase bat speed, but they will not hold up very well when hitting pitches around 40 mph or when in the hands of an older, stronger player.
Mac
How does this bat differ from the previous year's model? Double A Ron
The design and materials will be very much the same from the 2014 model MAKO to the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB). The largest difference between the two models will the 2015's color scheme.
Brandon
what size would I need for a 6 1/2 yr. old boy? dewey
For the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) our glove coach would recommend a 27" 15 oz. bat
Joe
How long has this bat been out? I wish there were more reviews on it, I have heard good things about this bat. Mike
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) was released August 1, 2014. This has been a very popular bat, that I have sold a lot of.
Frankie
Besides the length/weight ratio, what are the differences between this bat and the 2014 Easton Mako SL15MK10B? Trent
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) is considered a Junior Big Barrel Bat. Junior Big Barrel Bats are only meant to be used for coach pitch and machine pitch. The barrel walls in a Junior Big Barrel bat are not built to withstand the force of the pitches once kid pitch begins. Also, you'll notice that the Junior Big Barrel model is a single piece all-composite model while the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK10B) is a two-piece, all-composite model.
Ben
I know it is not recommended for kid pitch, some of the kids on my travel team have this bat and love it. We are getting ready to go to our first tournament, just wondering if this bat is legal in 9u USSSA league? Thanks Bullet
Yes, the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) does feature the USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp on the taper of the bat.
John
My son is 7 years old, about 45 pounds and going into his first year of coach (Machine) pitch. Would you recommend this bat? If so what size? R Miller
This is a great bat for coach pitch. I would recommend getting the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) in a 28 inch.
Frankie
My boy is starting 6U machine pitch this spring. I believe the speed is 36-38 mph. Will the MAKO withstand those speeds? SCS
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) is designed for pitch speeds up to 40 mph so it would be close. The bat should work at those speeds but if they are higher it could see durability issues that are not expected.
Patrick
Since it says here that the Junior Big Barrel version of the MAKO is also made from IMX Composite, is it essentially the same bat as the S1? If not, what are the substantial differences? Baseball Dad
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) is made from the same IMX Composite that the S1 Junior Big Barrel was made from. The MAKO is essentially the same design.
Mac
My son is 7 and in his second year of 9U Travel Ball. He is close to 4 feet tall and weighs about 45 lbs. What Junior Big Barrel Bat do you recommend? Rod J.
For his size we would recommend a 27" bat. The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) is a great option with a large sweet spot.
Allison
My son is 4 years old and is playing Coach Pitch baseball. He weighs about 38 pounds. What weight and length of bat should he be using? Mike
For his size we would recommend a 26" in the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) with weight of either 14 oz. or 13 oz.
Allison
I have 5 year old son who is playing his first year of coach pitch. I would like him to swing a 2 1/4", but there doesn't seem to be any that are 25" or 26" except for tee ball bats. Would you suggest this MAKO? mike
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) would be an excellent option for your son. At his age the 2 3/4" big barrel will give him the best chance at continued success as he grows and refines his swing.
Jake
Is this bat approved for U8 Dixie Youth coach pitch baseball? I don't see it stamped with approved for Dixie Youth. Adams
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) would not be approved because Dixie League does not allow the use of 2 3/4 inch barrel diameter bats.
Patrick
Is this bat legal for Pony? deysi
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) features a 2 3/4" barrel diameter and is not legal for play in Pony. Pony does not allow the barrel diameter to exceed 2 5/8".
Jason
Is this bat identical to the SL15MK10B except for the length? Or are the materials different? Tom
These two bats are actually very different. The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: JBB15MKB is a one-piece bat that is constructed from Easton's IMX Composite. The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK10B is a two-piece bat that is made from Easton's TCT Thermo Composite.
Marcus
My son is 6 and will be playing pitching machine in the spring. In their league, the barrel size regulation is 2 1/4. Which bat would you suggest for him? nvllbaseball
The 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) would not work because the barrel is too big. I would recommend something light like the 2016 Easton S2 Youth Baseball Bat (YB16S213) or the 2016 Easton S3 Youth Baseball Bat (YB16S313).
Patrick
What is the difference between this and the 2016 MAKO? Would you spend the extra money on the 2016? Woody
The performance and style of the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) compared to the 2016 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB16MK12B) is extremely similar. The differences would be mostly cosmetic in nature.
Patrick
Is this bat approved for Dixie Youth baseball 8 and under? bob
Dixie Youth Baseball allows their leagues to create their own bat rules from league to league. I would recommend reaching out to a local league official to get the exact answer on whether this Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB) will be allowed in your league or not.
Ben
Can we use this bat in Coach Pitch? I have seen some reviews that say you can't. BRoll Fresh
The Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: JBB15MKB is designed specifically for Coach Pitch and it will work great for that.
