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 with the new Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat: JB19 Adult. Free Shipping!

Overall Grade B+ BigGunsAndHomeruns player

Pros: Tons of pop. (I'm a power hitter so I assume every bat can put the ball over the fence, and most can, but this bat rifles the ball of the bat) it's more than just a pop. The most balanced power I have ever used. End loaded but still able to swing through the strike zone.

Cons: I haven't broken the bat yet but I would say that after maybe 20 at bats or less the bat is feeling weak. Maybe I just got unlucky but it's doesn't seem to have the best durability.

Great Bat Had Mine for 2 Years James Garrison player

Pros: I compared the AP5 and Cutch22 to this bat and they aren't anywhere as good this is by far the BEST BALANCED BAT Marucci makes, hands down. Great balanced bat, i'm 5'11 180lbs and had a 33inch that turned out to be really easy to swing. Line drives & hits in the gaps are so common with this bat. Before I got this bat I was terrible at going opposite field but it seems like with this bat everything that broke outside the bat would go right with the ball, it just felt natural I guess it's because of the long barrel. Did only hit 2 homeruns with this bat the whole time I had it, but you cant really use my experience to judge if you're going to be using this as a power hitter. Although I recommend this bat for players who's primary focus is to get the bat through the zone fast & be able to control which part of the field they want to hit to.

Cons: Had mine for 2 years before it finally broke, I guess that would be more of a Pro seeing that it took fairly long.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat: JB19 Adult? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

What would be better,the JB19 or the CU26? Amir#7
Both are great bats. The CU26 has a slightly larger barrel and may be better suited for power hitters. The JB19 will be a little more evenly balanced. Just all depends on the type of hitter you are.
Tyler
What is the difference between this and the AP5? Baseball
The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Bat: JB19 Adult features a mid-sized barrel with a gradual taper, whereas the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Bat: AP5NB Adult has a bigger barrel with the gradual taper. Here is a link to compare the two bats. http://www.justbats.com/compare/
Tom
Which Marucci wood bat is best for a power hitter between the JB19, AP5, and RH6? And what are the main differences between the bats? Flying Hawaiin
Good question. I would lean towards the RH6 as being the best bat for a power hitter. This is because it has a "no-knob" design. This design takes the weight away from the hands and is often preferred by power hitters. Other than the difference in the knobs, the AP5 has a longer barrel with a longer taper. The JB19's taper isn't quite as long and it has just a slightly smaller barrel.
Tyler
Between the JB19, VW10, and CU26, which bat is the best for a lead off hitter who hits for contact rather than power and is looking for a balanced bat? PP5
It would come down to player preferences on barrel size, knob, and the taper. Each player will have their own preferences that they are comfortable with.
John
Does this bat come with a warranty if it breaks? Scully
Unfortunately, the Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Bat: JP19 does not come with any warranty. Most bats will not come with any type of warranty.

Which wooden Marucci bat is the most evenly distributed? nick
The Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Bat: CU26B Adult is the most balanced Marucci wood bat.
Kara
Can someone use this bat in high school baseball? Somebody told me that even wood bats must have a BBCOR stamp on them to be used in high school, but another person told me all wood bats ate allowed to be used in high school baseball. So which friend is correct? Mr. Doubles
Only bamboo bats require an actual BBCOR stamp. All other wood bats, including the Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Bat: JB19 are 100% legal for play in High School baseball, and do not require a BBCOR stamp.
Tyler

The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Bat: JB19 Adult and the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Bat: AP5NB Adult bat will be similar. Both will be balanced in swing weight.

The AP5 will feature the large barrel design and tapered handle.

I'm 5'9" and weigh about 190 lbs. I can hit for both power and contact. I am in the 10th grade. Which Marucci bat do you think you would suggest? One that has a long shelf life. home runmonkey
The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19 Adult) would be a fantastic selection for a Marucci wood bat. The Chase Utley, Albert Pujols, and Andrew McCutchen models are very popular as well. Marucci bone rubs each bat to ensure the wood hardness and durability. All of these models will typically last about the same amount of time.

What are the differences between the JB19 and the AP5NB, 33"? marucci
The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19 Adult) and the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5NB Adult) will be similar.

I'm 5'2" and about 95 pounds. What size and what Marucci would be good for me? Dustin

All of these models will typically last about the same amount of time. Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 29" model.

The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19) Adult is an extremely balanced bat and is great for contact hitters. Another solid bat for contact hitters is the Sam Bat Maple Wood Baseball Bat (KB1) Walker/Black Adult. Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 32" model.
Jason
Which bat do you recommend: The JB19 or the CUTCH22? Luke
Both options are excellent models and it really depends on what type of hitter you are. The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19) Adult is the most balanced Marucci model available and is typically best for a contact hitter and a player looking for quicker bat speed. The CUTCH22 still has a balanced swing weight, but features a longer barrel. The longer barrel makes the bat feel slightly end loaded compared to the JB19 and is typically better for a player looking to increase their power.

What's the difference between this, the CU26, and JR7? jake
All three bats will be very well balanced and feature Marucci's bone rubbed process, to ensure the hardness of the wood. The CU26, JR7, and the Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19 Adult) will all be maple wood. The CU26 and JR7 will feature larger barrel diameters. The JR7 will have the most thick knob.
Brandon
I am a 14 year old boy that is 5'9" and 145 lbs. I am a good contact and power hitter. What is a better bat for me: the AP5 or JB19? JoshyB
The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19) Adult is an extremely balanced wood bat and is typically best for a contact hitter. The AP5 is a very balanced option as well, but the longer barrel design does make it better for a player that is a contact hitter with power. Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 32" model.
Jason
I am 14, 5'6", 105 lbs. The Jose Bautista looks like a good bat based on the reviews, but is the Andrew McCutchen model better for a contact hitter? JDFran14

The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat: JB19 Adult does not feature the BBCOR stamp but would be approved for high school use since the barrel (2 1/4 inch barrel diameter) does not exceed 2 5/8 inches and the bat is constructed from one piece of solid wood (maple).

Is this bat better than the MCMBBCULL? I like balanced bats! anonymous
The MCMBBCULL models are blemish models and are pulled from the production line because they don't meet Marucci's strict standards. They can also be any model from Marucci's line but are not labeled as such. The Marucci JB19 is the top of the line model and is well balanced.

The Marucci bat that would feel most similar to the end-loaded swing weight design of the Easton XL1 would be the 2016 Marucci Buster Posey Maple Wood Baseball Bat: POSEY28 Whitewash Adult. The drop 5 models of the Marucci youth bats will feature more of a balanced swing weight design.
Cameron
I'm 6'1" 156 pounds. Currently entering my freshman year of high school and was wondering if I should get a 33" or 32" wood bat? chandker baker
Based on your height and weight, you could really go with either a 32 or 33 inch wood bat. Really comes down to what you feel most comfortable using. Based on the fact that you will be a FR, a 32 inch bat would probably be the better fit now.

What is the difference between this bat and the AP5NB? What bat is more balanced? derekp

Logan
What is the difference between the JB19 and the AP5 model? keifer
The difference between this Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19 Adult) and the AP5 model is that this Jose Bautista is probably a little more balanced in its feel than the AP5. The reason it is a little more balanced is because the taper from the barrel to the handle on this JB19 is more gradual. The AP5 has a more pronounced barrel and then a sharper taper to the handle which provides a feel that is not quite as balanced as what is displayed on the JB19.
Ben

The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat: JB19 Adult would be a good option for a wood bat option, but the more balanced wood and probably more suitable option for your 14 year old son would be the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CU26B Adult.
