Description

Mizuno is taking the classic one-piece design to new heights with the Generation. The Generation is forged from a new and improved Aerospace Grade Alloy that increases strength and provides players with unwavering durability to get them through the longest of seasons. Each model's swing weight has been optimized with a lower MOI, so expect a light feel and extremely smooth swing through the hitting zone with this one. The performance from this bat's traditional single wall barrel is amplified with the inclusion of Mizuno's Variable Wall Thickness Technology. The barrel features six distinct wall thicknesses that optimize the performance and sweet spot but gives you a design that's extremely forgiving on off-center contact. The Generation's synthetic leather grip provides the tack needed for complete control and confidence, while the bats resonating "ping" on contact will tell you exactly when you've squared one up.

The Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN features a -3 Length to Weight Ratio, 2 5/8 Inch Barrel Diameter, and the BBCOR Certification for High School and Collegiate Play. You can pick yours up today at JustBats.com - where the shipping is always free, and we're here for you from Click To Hit!

Powerful Bat Anonymous player

Pros: I swung a 32" but it feels like I'm swinging a 31". It's still a really powerful bat and a steal at $200. I love the matte black graphic, and it's very responsive.

Cons: ...

Mizuno Generation JoeN2389 player

Pros: I bought this bat the day it came out and I've loved it ever since, I've played probably about 8 tournaments with it and hit over .400 all year! The best thing about this bat is it's huge sweet spot and how balanced it is. Definitely buy this bat, you won't be disappointed

Cons: None

Sick Bat Mark224 player

Pros: This bat is awesome! It has so much pop and is balanced so well. I feel like I have so much more control at the plate. It has a great sound and I'm absolutely crushing the ball. I LOVE THIS BAT! Don't spend your money on a $400 bat. This one hits better and is only $200.

Cons: Zero!

Excellent Bat...4.5 stars laxdadtoo parent

Pros: Bought it for D1 college player son to use as a cold weather and cage bat so we did not want to spend a lot of money. He used it in cage and he really likes it. Seems to have good pop and has a loud ping sound when hit on sweet spot. A little heavier than his Mako but that was expected. A very solid one piece alloy bat. Nice grip. For reference, it feels very much like a Rawlings 5150

Cons: Wish it were a little more balanced like a Mako but still a very balanced bat.

Amazing balance and feel for a metal bat! Patrick S. player

Pros: As stated in the title this bat is awesome so far. I've only taken a couple of sessions of batting practice in the cages but it has great pop. The balance is perfect for my swing and I feel like I get it through the zone quickly. I also used a few easton Zcore bats and feel like the Mizuno is much more balanced where the Zcore's are top heavy. I'm 6 ft 190 Lbs using a 33-30 just joining a mens league after being off for a couple years from baseball. I'm new to the BBCOR standard for metal bats and with this bat I can't tell the difference between what I used to use (BESR) and this one. For the price you will not find a better bat. If you're looking for something that will help you have solid contact from the first day of use this is your bat!

Cons: Haven't had enough time to find anything wrong with it but I'm confident I can say this bat won't have any cons.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Does this bat meet the Florida high school qualifications? joey
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16GEN) would meet Florida high school qualifications.
Cameron
How would you compare this bat to a MAKO? Phenom
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16GEN) and the 2016 Easton MAKO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16MK) are going to be two different kinds of bats (kind of like comparing apples to oranges). The Mizuno will be a balanced, one-piece design and complete alloy while the MAKO will be a two-piece, fully composite and balanced designed bat. Both would be great options to consider.
Cameron
How does this bat compare to last year's model? roman
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN and the Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: GENERATION-ADT are slightly different. In the 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN. Mizuno changed two things and they are the alloy used (higher grade of aerospace alloy) as well as variable wall thickness technology - six distinct barrel wall thicknesses optimize performance and sweet spot (the Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: GENERATION-ADT has five).
Cameron
What is the 30 day guarantee? coach g
The "30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee" is essentially a Love it or Return it guarantee. With this guarantee, you would be able to use the bat and actually hit baseballs with it. If you are not satisfied with the product, you could return for a full refund or exchange within 30 days from the date of purchase.
Nick
Is this bat end loaded? Lefty
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16GEN) is a balanced model.
Damon
My son loves the 2015. Shape, swing balance and pop. Will the 2016 feel the same in his hands? Will the distance be the same? Father Chris
The main difference between the Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (GENERATION-ADT) and the 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16GEN) is going to be the new kind of aluminum that the 2016 model has. It is now going to have Aerospace Grade Alloy with increased strength and durability. That is going to be the main difference and besides that, and the grip, they are going to be very similar.
Carter
What is the difference between this model and the 2017 Generation model? Bowman
The 2017 Mizuno Generation -3 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB17GEN features CORTECH technology, which adjusts wall thickness to create a 35% larger sweet spot. The 2017 model also is made out of Hot Metal which provides for great performance and sound.
Jason
What drop is it? evord
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN is a drop 3.
Jason
Would you compare this bat to the Easton MAKO or RIP-IT Element Two when discussing top-heaviness or balance? Is it more balanced or top heavy? Chavesy
I would compare the 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN more so to the 2016 RIP-IT Element TWO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BAC when referring to the balanced swing weight design of the bat. The Easton MAKO will be one of the more evenly balanced models on the market. The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN will be balanced and the main difference between this bat and the MAKO and Element Two is the design (one-piece versus two-piece for the MAKO and Element Two).
Cameron
Specific grip size? JT
From my observation, I would note that the thickness of the grip on this 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16GEN) will be between 1.1 - 1.8 mm.
Ben
Is this bat a big barrel bat? mimshogan302
The barrel diameter of this bat is 2 5/8", the same as all BBCOR models which are intended for high school age and above. If you need a Youth Big Barrel bat, check with your league to see if it allows 2 5/8" and/or 2 3/4" barrel diameters, then look at our Senior League/Youth Big Barrel bats.
Kyle J.
How would this bat's balance compare to that of the nighthawk, and the Louisville Slugger 517? I am also 5'6 and weight 150 pounds what size do you recommend? KJ24
The 2016 Mizuno Generation BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16GEN tends to feel more balanced to most players compared to the Nighthawk. It would be very comparable in terms of balance to the Louisville Slugger Omaha 517 though. Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 32" model.
Jason
In the bat pack, do you get both bats for the price listed? Scott C. Day
Yes, you would receive both of the bats shown for the price listed in bat packs.
