The 2014 Brett Bros. DeRaptor Maple/Composite Wood BBCOR Bats

The recently released Brett Bros. DeRaptor bats have arrived at JustBats.com. Founded by MLB Hall of Famer George Brett and his brothers Bobby, John and Ken; Brett Bros. brings years of professional baseball experience and knowledge to the wood bat market. Brett Bros. understands what a player is looking for in their game-day lumber. They consistently produce cutting edge, durable composite wood bats, and the new DeRaptor is no exception.

Offered in two turn models, the DeRaptor combines a 3-piece maple wood laminating process and composite core with their patented Boa Fiberglass reinforced handle for extreme durability. Brett Bros. is so confident that these bats are built to last, they offer a full 180-Day Guarantee against breakage with UNLIMITED replacements on the DR-110 or DR-271. Backed by that guarantee, the DeRaptor is a great choice that will stand up to tons of reps in the cage. Both DeRaptor models are BBCOR certified and approved for high school and collegiate play.

Brett Bros. DeRaptor - DR-110

Turn Model Specs:

Barrel Diameter: 2 ½”
Taper: Long
Handle Thickness: 1.00”
Length to Weight Ratio: Approximately -3

This 110 turn model of the DeRaptor offers the thickest handle of the standard wood bat turn models which adds durability and creates a very balanced swing weight. The DR-110 is a great choice for players transitioning from metal or composite BBCOR bats to wood. If you’re looking for the quickest swing speed and control through the hitting zone, the DeRaptor DR-110 would be a great addition to your game.

Brett Bros. DeRaptor - DR-271

Turn Model Specs:

Barrel Diameter: 2 ½”
Taper: Long
Handle Thickness: 15/16”
Length to Weight Ratio: Approximately -3

The DeRaptor 271 turn model is similar to the 110 turn, but it features a quicker taper from the barrel to the handle. This quick taper, into a slightly thinner handle, gives the bat a slightly end loaded swing weight for players who like to “feel” the barrel during the swing. The DR-271 can be comfortably used by either power or contact hitters.
