Rawlings is the expert for the hottest bats.

Just ask the back-to-back National Champions University of South Carolina Gamecocks, who have made Rawlings' BBCOR-certified bats their official game bats.

For 2012, Rawlings has set out to increase players' swing speed with exceptional balance and feel in its line of BBCOR-certified bats.

Choose from the more traditional stiff handle of the 5150 bats or the composite bi/fusion™ Machine handles that have 50 percent more flex.

All feature Precision-Optimized Performance™ (pOp™) barrel technology for balance and swing speed, and all are built to maximize the velocity of the ball off the bat.

All bats are -3 drop. A variety of weights are available.

Rawlings Gear carries all the new models for 2012--the 5150 bat (model number BBCA), the 5150 VELO bat (model number BB51V), the MACHINE bat (model number BBMC) and the PLASMA bat (model number BBCPLA).
