Pros: Just tried every demarini, easton, marucci, nike, and rawlings bats out yesterday. This bat was the best!! With the 5150 velo and 5150 in a close second place. This bat just flat out does work, for a power hitter that hit's a lot of line, drives, sharp, singles, and gappers, this bat was a dream. The graphics on the bat are also great. It would be a disservice to your on-field preformance if you were not to buy this bat.
Cons: Price is a little bit steep, but I got a great deal on it
Review Summary
based on 8 ratings. 8 user reviews.
Brand new to the field this season, the Rawlings Machine BBCOR utilizes the help of four technologies all designed with one goal in mind: to increase player swing speed with exceptional balance and feel! This starts with Precision Optimized Performance (pOp) Technology that results in championship caliber swing velocity and balance. This is accomplished through isolating the added weight to a smaller region on the barrel than any other competing bat, which translates into a lower swing weight. Then, the maximum rebound zone is surrounded by thin walls that create additional flex and a larger, more reactive sweet spot. The barrel on the Machine is made from Rawlings durable 5150 Alloy. Using their proprietary Bi-Fusion Technology, the barrel is joined to an Exogrid composite sleeve that functions as the handle as it tapers down. This creates 2x more handle flex than the traditional 5150 one-piece alloy bats. Ph.D Technology is then used inside the Exogrid handle to dampen vibration and improve the feel of the bat. If exceptional feel matters to you, get your hands on Rawlings new Machine BBCOR! Rawlings: Performance Where It Matters Most on the Field! The Machine is BBCOR Certified. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: This bat rocks! Excellent balance and MOI - swings like a much lighter bat. Excellent pop - Rawlings is using new proprietary technology to give you maximum impact reaction. Break it in (use a sleeve and hit each BP baseball with a quarter turn - about 100 balls) and it absolutely won't disappoint. Decent sweet spot. This is a new bat & design so you won't find much info about it anywhere but it's probably the best BBCOR on the market. We tried many 2012's and expense wasn't a problem (play travel and varsity h.s. so a good stick is crucial). You're going to start seeing a lot of guys hit with this stick.
Cons: Same as with any other good bat - it's a lot of dough but you get what you pay for. Also, for me, one of the critical aspects is swing speed through the ball. Some guys may like a bat that swings heavy and this bat doesn't.
by Steve M - Dec 28, 2011
Pros: Great Balance. Because the weight is nearer to the handle, it allows for great bat speed. This can make up for some of the lack of pop that any BBCOR always has. My player is getting good distance with this bat. Also has nice graphics.
Cons: None with the bat itself, but it is expensive.
by Jackson - Feb 19, 2012
Pros: This bat is great! It is one of the few equally balanced bbcor bats on the market. This has amazing pop. You need to hit about 200 balls either in soft toss or in the cage before you take into live hitting. When you hit the 200 balls it its awesome.
Cons: Absolutely none!
by bigR - Mar 01, 2012
Pros: More pop than any BBCOR bat that i've used. Finally found a live one.
Cons: The grip seems a little cheap. Not a big deal, I like to customize the grip anyway.

Pros: great balance good sweet spot
Cons: none
by mariano - May 09, 2012
Pros: Awesome bat. Before BBCOR rules I was always a demarini person but i tried this bat and couldnt keep my hands off. The best quality of this bat is how evenly balanced it is, which is something that not many BBCOR bats have. The pop is awesome, too. I could hardly tell the difference in pop from my old bat when i square one up. It definitely doesnt feel dead like other BBCORs. I would definitely recommend over any other bat so far.
Cons: Playing high school and travel ball can get really expensive, so my parents weren't ecstatic about paying for this, however whether or not you can get a discount on this bat, it is worth it.

Asked by Jackson on Mar 13, 2012
The BBMC is approved for Babe Ruth League.
· Mar 13, 2012
We are interested in either the VELO or the Machine. Because all the other kids on the team will want to use this bat, which bat would have the longest life expectancy (a one-piece vs a two-piece)?
Asked by Chris on Mar 04, 2012
I would lean towards one-piece if this will be a team bat. It should be a little more durable.
· Mar 04, 2012
What is different between this bat and the rip-it prototype 2?
Asked by Balls on Jan 22, 2012
The PROB2 is a one piece alloy construction. The Machine is a two piece hybrid, with a composite handle and an alloy barrel.
· Jan 23, 2012
What is the barrel size on this bat? And how does it compare to the Easton s1 and xl1 bats?
Asked by Hitter on Jan 21, 2012
This bat is going to have a 2 5/8" barrel, it should be a balanced feel similar to the S1
· Jan 22, 2012
Will this bat feel heavier than the Velo since it is slightly shorter? Where is the weight located?
Asked by Pat on Jan 20, 2012
This bat is designed for balance and control, so the weight is going to be evenly distributed.
· Jan 20, 2012
what bat would be better this one or the anderson nanotek bbcor?
Asked by baseballer on Jan 16, 2012
It will really depend on what kind of hitter you are. Two piece bats like the Machine are usually better suited for contact hitters. Power hitters usually prefer one piece bats like the Nanotek.

How does this bat differ than the marucci black & which one is a better option?
Asked by rey on Dec 06, 2011
We haven't had a lot of feedback on the Machine. The Marucci Black does have a longer barrel, but both are excellent choices.
· Dec 06, 2011
I am torn between the Rawlings Machine and the 5150 Velo. Besides the difference that one is a 1 piece bat and the other a 2 piece bat, how do they compare? My son is a contact hitter. When did the Rawlings Machine get released?
Asked by Pat on Dec 01, 2011
The Machine has been out for only a couple months now. The Velo, slightly longer. If your son is a contact hitter, it really depends on his preference. The one piece, Velo, is a stiffer flex and is very nicely balanced. The Machine has a little more flex, and has the composite handle and the alloy barrel, and is also very nicely balanced. Both have awesome pop!
· Dec 01, 2011
Is the machine end-loaded or is most of the weight at the handle of the bat?
Asked by baseballboy on Nov 27, 2011
This bat is more balanced so the weight is more toward the handle.
· Nov 28, 2011
whats the difference between the machine and the 5150?
Asked by me on Nov 10, 2011
The Machine is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The 5150 is a one-piece bat that is all alloy. The Machine will have more flex than the 5150 as it is a two-piece bat.
