For an 11u Michael.v.bush@gmail.com Coach
Pros: I bought this bat for my little leaguer who I figured could use this as a batting practice bat like the pros do, a heavy bat for practice but in game she would use his neon green 2018 Quattro. This bat has been his go to and he leaves the 2018 model at home. It’s got great pop and no vibration. All of his teammates like the heavy weight in the barrel and hits shots to the outfield with it. My son is small for his age but is strong and gets this bat around just as easy as kids using heavy 30 inch bats.
Cons: Yes it’s heavy, but more mass should produce greater velocity given its MOI and solid construction. I can’t really find a flaw. My son loves this bat and is driving the ball into the gap with enough room to spare.
Awesome bat Matt Coach
Pros: No vibration like Easton bats.
Cons: None as of yet

How true to weight is this bat? Knighton Sample
The Rawlings Quatro Pro has received good reviews for performance but very poor reviews for durability (52% 1 star reviews on Amazon). Is Rawlings going to address this issue? I know they will replace defective (1 year warranty) bats, but will they replace them multiple times? Roy W.
Do you guys know if the 2019 Rawlings Quatro comes in a 32 inch 24 ounce because the highest for a drop 8 is 31 inch? Doug Arlich
Is it a requirement to break in this bat? Chris
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.
