Marucci Andrew McCutchen Pro Model Wood Bat AM22

Bone-rubbing is a process where the wood is compressed using a bone or steel tool, which closes the pores and increases the density of the maple. This results in a harder surface, better durability, and improved pop when you make contact with the ball.

Because of its balanced swing weight, this bat is a versatile option that works well for both styles. It provides enough control for contact hitters to place the ball, but offers sufficient mass for power hitters to drive it.

The ink dot is a visual test that proves the wood grain is straight and consistent, which is a requirement for professional play. It ensures the bat has the structural integrity needed to withstand high-velocity impacts without breaking prematurely.

The slightly flared knob provides a comfortable transition from the handle to the base, offering a secure feel without being as restrictive as a traditional flared or tapered knob. It allows for a more natural hand placement, which many players find helps with bat speed and control.

Yes, this model includes a 30-day warranty. Please keep your proof of purchase, as it will be required if you need to file a claim for any manufacturing defects.
