What Is in Your Rawlings' BBCOR Bat?

What makes Rawlings' 5150 BBCOR bats the choice of the nation's top college baseball teams?

Simply put, they are the hottest on the market.

A larger sweet spot, better flex and lasting durability are just a few of their other attributes.

Featuring Rawlings' Precision-Optimized Performance™ (pOp™) technology, these bats isolate their weight to a smaller region on the barrel than competitors' bats, translating into a lower swing weight.

This technology meets BBCOR standards without inserts.

Precision manufacturing keeps the bat walls consistently thin for a more even distribution of weight. The thin walls create a maximum rebound zone.

Rawlings' 5150 alloy has been designed for strength and flexibility, creating an unmatched combination of trampoline effect and durability.

Try Rawlings' model number BBCA, used by defending College World Series champion South Carolina, or Rawlings' new BBCPLA. Both have a drop of -3, and both are available at RawlingsGear.com.
