Description
The Marucci Bat Company™ takes pride in turning top quality wooden baseball bats in the same tradition and precise technique of the earliest bat companies. Every Marucci Bat™ is cut, calibrated, balanced, buffed and lacquered by hand. The Marucci Bat Company™ uses top grade Maple billets cut from selected, naturally grown trees in Pennsylvania forests. This selection process insures the highest possible grade of wood for each bat. The Marucci Bat Company™ bats are 100 percent handmade or turned in small batches from an original design, then finished and detailed by hand. Each model is made to exacting specifications maximizing balance and ease of handling. The Marucci Bat Company™ uses an Ultra Penetrating Stain that provides the best possible finish for your next Marucci Bat. Most impressive is the Bone Rubbing technique that The Marucci Bat Company™ uses. `Boning` bats began in the earliest days of baseball with players like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. These Hall-of-Famers would spend hours in their dugouts rubbing their bats with old cow femur bones. Bone Rubbing closes the wood`s pores, compressing it and making it harder. Marucci uses the same technique on their bats, rubbing before the finish is applied to seal and harden the wood. Just another example of how Marucci takes the same pride in their bats as our baseball heroes once did. Experience the excellence of a Marucci Bat today with the AP5BN Adult. Free Shipping!

We do not recommend hitting dimpled balls with the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN) or any game bat. The dimpled balls, or rubber cage balls, are more dense than regular baseballs and can crack, dent or even break your game bat easier.

Jason
Is this model similar to a 110 turning model, or more end heavy? Vinny
The handle of the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN) Adult is thinner than the typical 110 turning model. Because of this, it will have a slightly more end loaded feel than a 110. But it is overall a pretty well-balanced design.
Mac
I am an experienced Marucci user and use wood basically every practice and a few tournaments. Never tried the AP5 before surprisingly but have heard great things about it. How does this compare to the JB19, CU26, and CUTCH22? Those are the models I use now or have used in the past. jboyz baseball
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN) Adult and the Marucci Andrew McCutchen Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CUTCH22C) Cherry Adult will be most similar with a longer barrel taper. Both will have a tapered handle, but the taper on the Cutch22 will be slightly larger. The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19) Adult, Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CU26B) Adult will have a shorter taper on the barrel and a standard knob.

The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) will be evenly balanced in swing weight. The barrel will not feel end loaded.
Brandon
Where is the weight distributed in this bat? jonnybball
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) will feature a slight end-load through the barrel. It is not technically an end-loaded model, however the steep barrel taper does make it feel as though it has a slight end-load.
Joe
What Marucci bat would you prefer for a gap to gap lead-off hitter? Aj
As a lead-off contact hitter, we would typically recommend a balanced turn model such as the 110 turn model. Additionally, we would recommend ash over maple due to the light swing-weight and faster bat speed of ash models. The Marucci David Ortiz Ash Wood Baseball Bat (DO34 Adult) would be a great option.
Joe
Why are the Marucci's that the Pros. use ink dot tested? But the retail ones are not? Does that mean that they're not as high quality? larondoi
The ink dot is something that the MLB may require. The bats like the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) are the exact same wood from his hands to the ones we sell here.
Brandon
What is the difference between this AP5BN and the AP5NB? Julian
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) and the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5NB Adult) are going to be identical besides the painting.
Frankie
Can you explain the price difference between a ($69.00) 31 inch Alpert Pujols Maple and a ($129.00) 32 inch Pujols Maple. Seems like a lot of money for 1 inch. I have purchased 4 of your Ash bats for my kid, they break way to easy, recent break on the barrel. Harry Up
The price difference between the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN) and the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (AP5YB) is because the 31 inch AP5YB is a youth model which is a different design than the adult but made to give a similar feel for a youth player to what the adult player would experience. Maple is, traditionally, a bit more durable than ash.
Patrick
Is there a warranty for the first few months if the bat breaks? Mike
Unfortunately, the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) will not carry any warranty period that would allow customers to obtain a warranty replacement through Marucci or JustBats if it were to break. Typically, natural wooden baseball bats do not carry warranty periods, but there are some composite wood models that will feature a warranty period.
Ben
What is the difference between this bat and the JB19? Max d
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) is a very balanced option and the longer barrel designis for a player that is a contact hitter with power. The Marucci Jose Bautista Maple Wood Baseball Bat (JB19) Adult) is an extremely balanced wood bat and is typically best for a contact hitter.
Frankie
Is this bat like a MF14? If not, which Marucci bat is considered the MF14? El piloto
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the MF14 model enough to compare it to the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN).

The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat: AP5BN Adult has an approximate -3 length to weight ratio and a 31" will be about 28 oz.
Jason
Is this bat ink dot tested? hola 6.0
There is a chance that this Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat (AP5BN Adult) will come with an ink dot present on it. Marucci has started making some of these pro models with ink dots, but I would not be able to guarantee that your model would absolutely have the ink dot.
Ben
How many ounces is the 32 inch bat? Paul
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Baseball Bat: AP5BN Adult is approximately a -3 bat, which would make the 32" model roughly 29oz.
