Description
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 uses 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 Gehrig. 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.

Kyle J.
I've done a lot of research and I still can't figure out what is the best all-around bat between the AP5, the CU26 or the Cutch22. What do you think? jackpowers5
The reason you probably haven't gotten a definite answer is because which one is best would vary from player to player based on what you like. All three models are high quality maple bats and have different feel to them. The AP5 for instance would have a more flared knob than the other two and the CU26 has a slightly larger barrel than the others so it is a bit less balanced.
Patrick
What are the measurements of the knob and handle of the CU26? Sailor14
Unfortunately, Marucci does not list the specific dimensions of the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Bat (CU26B) or any of their pro model designs. We are not equipped to measure the bat down to the very precise handle and knob size.
Patrick
What is the difference between the adult 31" CU26 and the youth CU26YB? natti
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood (CU26B) Adult has a approximate -3 drop and will also have a 2 1/2" barrel. The Marucci Chase Utley Youth (CU26YB) has a approximate -5 length-to-weight ratio while have a 2 1/4" barrel.

Joe
What is the weight? leivin15
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult) features an approximate drop 3 length to weight ratio. So the weight of the bat will be approximately 2-3 ounces less than the listed length.
Joe
I am 14 years old, 5'3" and about 130 lbs. My first year of high school ball is starting shortly. I currently use a 31", but I also have a 32" bat that I recently got which seems like an all right weight. What size should I get the CU26 in? Julian
Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 31" model in the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) Adult. If you are confident in your bat speed though, you could use a 32" model.
Jason
My son is 13, 5'7", and 145 lbs. He currently swings the 31" DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC), and has very good bat speed with that bat. Will the 32" Marucci CU26B be about right, or too heavy for him? Al
A 32" Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) Adult would be a great bat for him. The bat is great for power hitters, so if he's swinging a Voodoo, he should be fine with this one.
Chinyere
I am looking for a wood bat that has a balanced swing weight and designed for contact hitters. What Marucci wood bat would you recommend? Mikeybaseball25
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) Adult will be the most balanced design in the Marucci Pro Line.

Frankie
What bat would you say is the most well balanced out of yall's selection? I really despise hitting with an end-loaded bat and am serious about getting a wood bat before I go back to school to play ball. jkirk1
While the feel can vary based on each individual player's strength and preference, the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B ) would be one of the most balanced designs in Marucci's line and among most wood bat. In general, wood bats do tend to have a more barrel heavy feel than some alloy or composite bats.
Patrick
Would you compare this bat to a 110 turn model? bishy
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult) is going to be a very balanced bat, and very comparable to the 110 turn model feel.
Frankie
Would you compare this bat to a 243 turn model bat? Will B.
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult could be considered to be similar to a 243 turn model but with a slightly smaller barrel diameter.
Marcus
Out of all quality maple wood bats, which has the lightest swing weight? It doesn't have to be a Marucci. ryan
Wood bats are shaped into what is called "turn models" that indicate the shape and diameter of the handle, taper, barrel, and knob. The 110 turn model is considered the lightest swinging. A bat like the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) is well balanced but perhaps slightly less than a 110 model like the Louisville Slugger M9 Maple M110 Natural/Black Matte Wood Baseball Bat (WBM9110-BN).
Patrick
Since the bat has a thin handle will it be easier to break? johnny baseball
Taking hits off the handle of any wood bat, regardless of the handle thickness, would make it more likely to break. Hitting anywhere but the barrel of wood bats like the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) make it more susceptible to breaking.
Patrick
Compare this to CUTCH 22? Also, would genuine pine tar be visible if applied to handle/taper? jim
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult), when compared to the Marucci Andrew McCutchen Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CUTCH22C Cherry Adult, will feature a balanced swing weight, a more conventional handle knob and a slightly smaller taper with regards to the barrel (barrel diameter will be the same with both).
Cameron
What Marucci bat compares to a 110 turn model?? sdo123
The Marucci bats that will compare to the 110 turn model will be the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5NB Adult) and the Marucci David Ortiz Ash Wood Baseball Bat (DO34 Adult).
Cameron
Are Marucci maple wood bats ink dot certified? mike
Bats like the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) do not feature ink dot certification.
Patrick
What length should you use if you are 5 feet 8 inches? Johnny
Here at JustBats, we use height and weight to help determine the correct bat size. Being 5' 8", if you weigh less than 140 lbs, we recommend swinging a 31" bat. If you weigh between 141-180", we recommend using a 32" bat. If you weigh over 180 lbs, we recommend swinging a 33" bat.
Nick
Do bats with ink dots like the Louisville Slugger MLB Primes perform better than these Marucci bats? 0
Ink dot bats do not necessarily perform better than models that are not ink dot tested. The Ink Dot demonstrates the straightness of the grain. The straighter the grain is, the better durability the bat should exhibit. Also, whichever side the test is applied, will be the hardest side of the bat.
John
Is this bat BBCOR certified for high school use? eli
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult is solid maple and it is approved for play in high school. Since it is a fully maple design it does not require the BBCOR certification.
Jason
Is this bat end loaded? What type of hitter should use an end loaded bat and what type of hitter should use balanced? Johnny
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult will feature a balanced swing weight. Typically, end loaded baseball bats are preferred by power hitters while balanced bats are preferred by contact hitters.
John P.
Do you know which Marucci pro model is most similar to a 271 turn model? G
I would say that this Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult) or the Jose Bautista (JB19) model will compare most similarly to specifications of the 271 turning model. I would probably say that the JB19 would be the closest to the 271 as the JB19 has a very gradual taper from the barrel down to the handle (just like 271 bats).
Ben
Is this bat legal for American Legion wood bat league? mike
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult is a one-piece fully maple wood bat and it is legal for play in American Legion.
Jason
Is there supposed to be a spot on the bat where there is no black paint, just natural wood? Joe
The unpainted spot on the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult is where the Ink Dot test was done. This Ink Dot demonstrates the straightness of the grain. The straighter the grain is, the better durability the bat should exhibit. Also, whichever side the test is applied, will be the hardest side of the bat.
Marcus
What is the difference between the Youth and Adult models of the Chase Utley series? RDB

Sean
I typically hit gap to gap with flashes of power at times. I like a bat with a thin handle, good size barrel, and a little end load. Do you think this would be a good model for me? T.Craig
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult has a very balanced swing weight, therefore it would not be the bat for you if you are wanting more of an end-loaded feel.

Is the bat ink dot tested? justbats customer
The new models that we are receiving from Marucci will feature the pro ink dot test. There could still be some holdovers from previous quantity levels that may not feature the ink dot test but would put this occurrence as unlikely.

Which bat is more balanced this or the Cutch22 model? I'm a 5'10", 180 lbs, power hitter that prefers a thin handle and balanced feel. CL
The Cutch 22 model should be a bit more balanced than the Utley.

How many ounces is this bat? baseball god
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult is going to be an approximate -3 length to weight ratio. With wood they are not able to get an exact weight because each piece of wood will be slightly different but it will be right around a -3.

Based on your height and weight, The general recommendation is that you use a 33" bat and 30 oz. However, if you want a quick light bat, you could go down one size to a 32" 29 oz bat.

How does the CU26B compare to the Victus V243? T20
This Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult) will be more balanced in its feel when compared to the Victus Pro Reserve V243 Maple Wood Baseball Bat (VRWMV243) which is designed to be end-loaded in its feel.
Ben
How does this bat compare to the Cutch 22 model? Handle Taper? Sweet spot? Weight? Barrel size? TD
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult will feature a balanced swing weight like the CUTCH22. The handle diameter and barrel diameter will be roughly the same as well as there is no difference in sweet spot size. The differences between the two bats will be the knob design and the taper of the bat. The CUTCH22 will have a large tapered knob and the taper will start sooner on the barrel. This will cause the CUTCH22 model to not feel as balanced as the Utley model.
Cameron
What's a similar turning model of the CU26 for other brands? TJ
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult features a similar turn model to that of a 271. Any 271 turn model from another manufacture should compare favorably to this Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult.
Cameron
Is the CU26 model closer to an I13 or a 243? John
This Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B Adult) will feature a balanced swing feel. Therefore, it will not feel similarly to the end-loaded I13 or 243 bats. The closest wood bats to which you can compare the CU26 will be the 110 and 271 bats.
Ben
I"m 5"11 185 lbs gap to gap / power hitter. 33' is beginning to feel small for me, so should I go up to a 34'? Also, I love the feel of this CU26. What one piece metal bats would have the same kind of feel? John K
Based on your height and weight we would recommend swinging the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult in a 33" size for you. However, that is based on standard height and weights and if you felt that you personally could swing a 34" you can absolutely do that. The 2017 Marucci CAT 7 BBCOR Baseball Bat: MCBC7 will offer a similar feel to the CU26.
Carter
I read through these questions. Sometimes you say this bat is more balanced than the Cutch22 and other times you say this is more end loaded. Which is it? Jack
The main difference between the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult and the CUTCH22 will be the knob design and the taper of the bat. The CUTCH22 will have a large tapered knob, therefore the taper will start sooner on the barrel. As a result, this will cause the CUTCH22 model to be not quite balanced as the CU26B model.
Tyler
Is the CU26 a -2, or a -3? vince24
Adult wood bats will fall somewhere between -2 and -3, as the wood density can vary ever so slightly from model to model. The CU26 is no exception, so we can't say for certain if it will be a -2 or -3. It will be somewhere in that range however.
