Good Bat with Improved Pop College Baseball Player player
Pros: Very Balanced, it lets you know if you hit it well, has the same general shape as a wood bat and gives you the same feedback as a wood bat. Multiple miss-hits will make you better at finding the barrel
Cons: Bat stings when you miss-hit the ball
GREAT BAT!! Alfred Player
Pros: My son is 6’4 and has been easily hitting over 350 feet each time he’s made contact
Cons: The grip fell apart
Bat dre Other
Pros: none
Cons: Wan't impressed with the bat once I bought it and returned it back immediately!
The Hits and Long Balls keep coming and coming Grant Muntan Player
Pros: ease and balance of bat
Cons: not too many right now, I do get sme vibration but I have not had a bat in which it did not have any.
PING MAKES THE BAT Alex Ballgame Player
Pros: The pop, balance, and PING is why you buy this bat. The sound of this bat is a beautiful aluminum sound that draws attention to the hitter. If you don't like a loud sound on contact then hit with wood.
Cons: None
Great Bat! The Wall Player
Pros: This is a great bat. It has a nice balanced weight and a good pop. I also like the 32.5 option.
Cons: None
this is horrible unless you are very talented Yuri Tarded Player
Pros: feels really balanced when swinging and when you barrel a ball up it goes
Cons: has a very little sweet spot and its very hard to square a ball up the vibration is horrible but it is a 1 piece so its going to do that
Great bat Bob Player
Pros: Had great pop at the beginning, AMAZING balance.
Cons: Noticed about a month ago that it died, and finally yesterday people start to agree with me. Sending it back for a new one.
"Bad Bat" Bill Nye Player
Pros: If you hit the a ball in a certain spot of the bat it has a chance of going far.
Cons: Overall the bat is not a good bat I would not spend money on it at all, if you hit it on the end the vibration is terrible, the first week I had the bat I wanted to replace it.
Good bat Jack Player
Pros: Has lots of pop Very light through the zone Only a good bat if you like light weight bendable feel on contact
Cons: Not a stiff feeling bat Paint chips easily
Great bat AB Player
Pros: So far, Very happy with this bat. Anxious to use it in game, but it has great pop.
Cons: None thus far
Love this bat so far Owen Player
Pros: I don't get what some of these people are talking about. The bat looks good, feels good, and swings very light. It's a perfect bat for someone going into their first year of BBCOR or a bottom of the lineup hitter. The sweep spot is a good size. BARREL SIZE AND SWEET SPOT SIZE ARE NOT THE SAME THING!!! I hear people make this mistake all the time. The bat does kinda look like a cone but the sweet spot is actually pretty big. You get some vibration on miss hits but because it is a BBCOR bat it isn't terrible. The bate tape is meh but I don't notice it once I put on batting gloves.
Cons: I've been thoroughly impressed with this bat so I cannot record any cons yet.
I wasn’t a fan Ryan Barrus Player
Pros: Not much
Cons: It’s pop is not there and the sweet spot is very small. Even though loud is cool, this bar demes too loud for me. Not an overall fan
Good reliable bat Highschool Baseball player Player
Pros: Very nice sound, strong bat and not heavy. Got the 32.5 length and the 29.5 ounce bat, easy to get around and the bat feels solid. Not hard kick back. There is a large sweet spot on bat and it gives the ball a very good carry when hit.
Cons: Grip came of and had to get another one, stings some times

How does the Rawlings Velo BBCOR compare to the Marucci Cat 8 BBCOR? Also, is the Marucci Connect Cat 8 a big difference compared to the Velo? Jose
My son will need to use a BBCOR bat next season. He currently uses a 30", -5 bat. He is 5' 2", 105 lbs. I've read the Velo is one of the most balanced bats in the market, which he needs since he is a contact hitter. Would the Velo 31", -3 be too big a jump for him? Or would a 30", -3 would be more beneficial? Jonah
Why did the price drop? Is there something wrong? Is it about to be banned by NCAA? John

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
