by yeahh - Dec 24, 2011
Pros: Was a little hesitant to try something new. So far I'm very glad we gave this bat a shot. Its very nicely balanced. My son moved up from a 29/19 to a 30/22, he's about 56" tall and weights 75lbs. I was a little concerned about the weight but he is having no trouble at all getting the bat through the zone. He says it has a really good feel when you hit the ball. The grip is nice and sticky which is great for him because he does not like to wear gloves. It seems to have plenty of pop in the BP sessions we've had so far. Other than that its a great looking bat. The sound of the ball coming off it is really nice too..its kind of in between your typical "ping" and "crack" sound..if that even makes sense. Really happy with this purchase.
Cons: None yet...
Review Summary
based on 66 ratings. 66 user reviews.
Introducing the classiest bat to ever hit the field, the Marucci Black. Combining a longer barrel with big league balance and a sleek design, the Black offers everything players could want in a top of the line bat. Constructed using Marucci's patented new two-piece design, the Black fuses an AZ3000 Alloy barrel with a composite handle. The composite handle on the Black is made extra stiff so that players can hit for maximum power, while Marucci's AZ3000 Alloy is ultra-responsive and provides the industry's best combination of performance and durability. The barrel on the black is made extra-long which results in a larger sweet spot and increased trampoline effect. The Black also features unprecedented big league balance, which means that players don't have to sacrifice swing speed for a bigger barrel. A reduced M.O.I. gives the bat a lighter swing weight for increased swing velocity, and ultimately more power. Marucci also brings their popular anti-vibration knob to the Black which, combined with the bat's two-piece construction, effectively eliminates negative vibration to give players maximum confidence and comfort at the plate. Marucci: Taking Baseball By Storm! The Black features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by JK - May 29, 2012
Pros: This bat is really good. It has an even swing weight and feels a lot lighter than it says. I have 32/24 and it has monster pop. I've used it for about seven games and quite a few times the ball goes over their heads, even after they back up
Cons: One con, the bat gets a lot of ball marks, but it still has the performance over time
by Da Beast - Jul 23, 2012
Pros: This is a very balanced bat.Even though the paint chips a little bit I could care less as long as it still hits good.I got the 30/22 and it feels like 18 oz.This bat is amazing!!!!Hope you enjoy.
Cons: NONE!!!
by baseballer8 - Jul 25, 2012

Cons: none at all
by G5Dad - Dec 15, 2011

Cons: None yet.
by Buck - Jan 30, 2012
Pros: Great looks, great feel and overall an amazing bat....Got one for my 12 U son's travel ball this Spring and in the first game he hit a bomb over straight center field..... Typically with the Eastons and Rawlings he was a doubles hitter.....Can't wait for this season as the rules have just changed.....
Cons: None
by jru3434 - Mar 02, 2012
Pros: excellent bat with alot of pop,
Cons: the center piece of the handle knob was backing out. i contacted justbats and they shipped new bat overnight and picked up defected bat. excellent service!!!
by missle - May 01, 2012
Pros: I am 10 years old and the first two hits with this bat were home runs over a 210 ft fence. 30/22
Cons: Haven't seen any
by Justin's dad/coach - Jul 09, 2012
Pros: Ball jumps off the bat right out of the plastic. Very happy I decided to pick this bat. great price...great bat. my son is 9 and about 75-80 lbs. and has no trouble getting the 30/22 around. Great weight distribution on the bat. Thank you JustBats.
Cons: None-as for the paint other customers are saying is coming off, it is a bat being hit by a ball and then hitting the dirt and rolling so it is normal wear and tear on a bat. Nothing unusual for a bat and my son has been using in tournament play all the time and the bat is still in great shape.
by Mike3201 - Jul 11, 2012
Pros: Got this bat for my eleven year old at Christmas. Works great. The pop stays with the bat and hasn't gone yet. He is hitting well and says when the ball connects with the bat it feels nice and if you get it on the sweet spot you can barely feel it. Home runs aren't too hard either. He plays on a 225 ft fence and it doesn't look like he has a problem hitting them over. 13 home runs can't lie.
Cons: Non3
by coach - Oct 05, 2012
Pros: Composite handle, good grip, good pop, good price - get what you pay for.
Cons: Would like a little longer barrel with a bigger sweet spot.
by b-rad - Jan 10, 2013
Pros: I hadn't had much experience with Marucci before this season. My son tried other bats from players on his team including the Voodoo and CF5. The balance on the Marucci is great. The price is good and the results are amazing! The ball jumps off the barrel.
Cons: Other than scratching paint...none.
by Coach Pops - Nov 11, 2011
Pros: This site had this bat first, even 2 weeks before Marucci. Great distance when hit correctly, endcap is professional like the CU26, buy it do not hesitate. 9 year old son loves it.

by Trey's Dad.... - Apr 10, 2013
Pros: My son is 11 and uses this bat for his travel team. He also plays Jr High baseball with a BBCOR -3, Has hit this bat for the past three months once a week at hitting lessons, weekly practices and played his first tourney this last weekend... THIS BAT HAS POP... He crushed the ball all weekend... have not seen the paint chips as reported in other reviews and he has hit it a lot in the last three months we have owned this bat. The bat won't make your kid a hitter, but the ball jumps off the bat on contact and the balance is great. He loves this bat...
Cons: None that I've seen yet...
by Ethan V. - Apr 11, 2013
Pros: Bat looks great, and has good pop right out of the box. However, the end cap of this particular bat broke in its first tourney. I sent back to Marucci per JustBats instruction and I'm awaiting new bat.
Cons: BROKE.
by Proud Pop - Apr 30, 2013
Pros: Bought the combo pack with the Veangence. The DeMarini is collecting dust after my 12 year old blasted one 260' in a game a week ago clearing the 245' 8" (little green monster) fence with ease. That ping was the beautiful sound ever! Bought the combo pack as an experiment to determine whether to buy the Black 2 or the Voodoo.....he just wants another Black before it gets discontinued!
Cons: The finish gets ruined quickly, but it doesn't hamper its ability to crush the ball!
by joey6103 - May 04, 2013
Pros: Great pop, huge barrel.
Cons: None, BROKE after 50 cuts. The sound is a ping I would like a little more pong or so.

Pros: Evenly Balanced, Loads of pop out the wrapper. Nice transition form drop -10 before -5 is mandated for my 9 year old.

by Kids baseball player-11yr old 4 foot 6 - Mar 31, 2012
Pros: No pros please read: Dont judge a bat by its looks. I got this bat for Christmas. Last yr, i swung a worth prodigy. I would hit it at least 180 ft and switched to the marucci and i can only hit it about 150 feet. I just bought another prodigy and its so much better than this. My friends have vertexs and exogrids and prodigys. All of those r better than this. You get jammed alot and it stings your hands. Ive not adjusted my swing at all and im still getting jammed. Its a very expensive bat and dont reccomend this bat.
Cons: What i just said in the pros; i have no pros. Except its a good looking bat.

The Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League bat is a discontinued model, unfortunately we will not get anymore of the 31" 23 oz. models back in stock.
· Feb 22, 2013
Besides the composite handle what other difference does the Marucci Black possess over the Easton Rival? My son is 58". and 93 lbs. Would you recommend the 30" 22 oz? His Rival is 30" 20 oz.
Asked by Rock on Feb 19, 2013
The Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League will have more flex than the Easton Rival because of the composite handle. The Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League is best suited for a contact hitter. Based on his height and weight we recommend a 30" 22 oz.
· Feb 19, 2013

Asked by loh on Jan 31, 2013
The Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League bat would be a great bat for a smaller contact hitter, but it may be too much of a jump in weight. I would look at the Marucci Team models in the -10 sizes.

I am 12 years old and play 12u. I am 5"1 and 90lbs. Last year I used a 30/20. Do you think the Marucci black 30/22 will be to heavy?
Asked by Storm34 on Jan 18, 2013
The Marucci Black 30" 22oz may seem heavy at first because of the two ounce jump, but it will be just fine for you, because it is always recommended to gradually go with a heavier bat to get ready for -3 BBCOR bats.
· Jan 19, 2013
My 12 yr. old son has used one-piece Easton bats for the past 3 seasons (Rival and S3). We just got his Marucci Black yesterday and he used it for the first time at BP today. Should I be concerned with switching him to a two-piece bat after the success he has had and how long will the Black take to break in?
Asked by SoonerMagic on Jan 07, 2013
The two-piece design on the Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League bat will help his bat speed. Also, being two-piece will help limit the amount of vibration that could reach his hands. This bat does have an Alloy barrel. It requires no period of break-in. This bat will be highest performing right out of the wrapper and will slowly lose its pop over time.
· Jan 07, 2013
Does the Marucci Black have more pop than the Marucci Black 2?
Asked by harold on Dec 22, 2012
Both bats should have very similar performance. The main upgrade from the Black to the Black 2 is the Kevlar-Reinforced grip that the Black 2 has. It will help reduce vibration when hitting.
· Dec 23, 2012
How much drop should a 13 year old major player use? I am looking at the drop 8 to drop 3 right now.
Asked by bb on Dec 22, 2012
I would recommend a -5 as this is the perfect size for a player the year before they play high school baseball.
· Dec 23, 2012
Which is better this one or the Marucci Black 2?
Asked by kameron on Dec 13, 2012

· Nov 23, 2012
I just turned 11 years old, I'm 4' 7" and 85 lbs. I used an Easton S1 30"/18oz. this past season and made the jump to a CF5 30"/20oz. in the Fall with no problem. I am looking at getting the Marucci Black (-8) 30"/22oz. I like the balanced feel of a bat but do you think the difference is weight will be a problem for me? Also, is this bat legal for 2013?
Asked by GMoney on Nov 20, 2012
Yes, the Marucci Black: MSB11 Senior League bat will be legal for use in 2013. The swing weight will be very balanced. I would suggest swinging a 30" 22oz. to see if you can handle it confidently. It shouldn't be too big of a problem but the 2 oz. could be some extra weight to get used to.
· Nov 20, 2012
I'm 13 power hitter and play 13u and I don't know what to get marucci black, black 2, or cat 5. HELP!!!!
Asked by Baseball freak on Nov 13, 2012
That all depends on what bat you have used previously with the most success. Because, it's always recommend that a player stick with the same type of bat they have used in the past with the most success. In doing so, the player is much, much more likely to have continued success at the plate. If you give us a call at 1-866-321-2287, or email us at support@justbats.com, we would be happy to assist you.

There are a lot of factors when choosing the right length and weight of a bat. Based on your height, a 30" 25 oz. bat, like the Marucci Black should be fine. Here is a link to our Bat Resource Guide that can further help you make the right choice. http://www.justbats.com/bat-resource-guide/selecting-a-baseballbat/

My son is 12 and he is a pretty big kid at 5'8" 230 lbs and is considered a power hitter. He has been swinging a Rival 31/22 with good results but he used a Marucci Black 31/23 and it seems to have more pop and he swung it with no loss in bat speed. He is a very strong kid with fast hands but do you think a 32/24 -8 Marucci Black would be too heavy for him?
Asked by Henry on Oct 14, 2012
I think at that age, considering his height and weight, the 32" will not be to heavy for him. Especially since he was swinging the 31" without any issues, the extra ounce shouldn't make a difference. Also, if you would like more options to choose from, you may answer a series of questions with our Bat Coach on our homepage.

I struggle with bat speed and I kind of need a balanced bat that is easy to swing. Is this the bat for me or should I get the Voodoo or what would you recommend? Should I also get a doughnut? I'm 12 and kind of a big kid and a power hitter.
Asked by linedivebomber on Aug 07, 2012

I have a son that plays on a USSSA 13 major team, bats either 2nd or 3rd in the lineup. He is about 5'2" and 120lbs. Hits for avg and power. He wants an exo, but I am looking at the Marucci Black & Cat5. Which do you recommend for bat speed as well as power?
Asked by Toad on Mar 12, 2012
If you are looking for a bat for more of a power hitter, I would suggest going with the CAT 5 or the Exogrid 2. Both of these bats have a one piece design and will be pretty stiff and help generate more power. You can't really go wrong with either one of these bats. The Marucci Black is a great bat, but the two piece design is more preferred by contact hitters because they will offer a little bit of flex.

Asked by Ivey on Feb 20, 2012
Two piece bats like the Marucci Black are better suited for a contact hitter. The Cat 5 is stiffer and better suited for a power hitter. Both are lightweight and balanced.
