To become the best you need to work hard, give 100% and never sacrifice. That is why Marucci has grown to into one of the biggest names in Baseball. Each wood bat Marucci makes in meticulously handcrafted from the highest-grade, hand selected maple and ash billets harvested from their U.S. forests. Each handcrafted Marucci wood baseball bat is hardened using the time-honored bone rubbing technique, which closes to wood’s pores making the bat harder and stronger. The attention to detail and amazing devotion to making the best baseball bats possible is the reason why many of today’s biggest ball players are making the switch to Marucci.
This Marucci CU26 is the signature model of Chase Utley and features a traditional knob, thin handle and large barrel for a balanced feel and more control at the plate.

Ash Bats
• Pound for pound, ash is the strongest timber available.
• Ash has a flexibility that isn’t found in other timbers like maple. It tends to flex rather than break giving you a larger and more forgiving sweet spot.
• Ash is lighter than maple giving you a wider range of large barrel models.
Maple Bats
• Maple is a very dense timber with a greater surface hardness than ash.
• Maple is a closed-grained timber with a structure similar to layers in a laminated product. This makes the bat less prone to flake and makes the bat more durable.
• Because Maple is a heavier material many of the maple bats produced are of a smaller barrel model to get the bat weight lighter.
Until you become experienced with hitting wood bats don’t be surprised if you break a few. Miss hits along the handle or end of the bat can break a wood bat. It will take practice, but with time and work you will find yourself becoming a better hitter and breaking fewer bats. Make sure you hit with the label up or label down when swinging a wood bat. The label of the bat is placed on the flat of the grain on ash wood bats because this is the weaker side of the bat. Hitting with the label up or down will help you hit the stronger side of the bat and increase your bats life.
