Questions and Answers for Marucci Team BBCOR: MCBT Orange Adult
What is the difference between this MCBT Orange bat and the other black and white Team bat that was last years replacement bat for the CAT 5 -3 BBCOR. My son swung the CAT 5 33" -3 BBCOR and loved it, when it was outlawed he did not care for the replacement bat. Is this bat the same , but just a different color?
All the Marucci Team: MCBT's are exactly the same. The only difference is the colors they are offered in.
Why is this bat rated a 5 star, and then the Black Marucci bat is only a 4 star? I'm talking the adult BBCOR bats. Whats the difference between the two?
The rating system is based on customer reviews and we have no control over what rating any particular bat gets. The Marucci Team bat is a one-piece fully aluminum bat and the Marucci Black is a two-piece with a composite handle and aluminum barrel.
I need a bat that has pop because I am a contact hitter and need to get a little more pop. Will this be a good bat?
Yes, the Marucci Team BBCOR will have great pop and will be a very balanced bat for a contact hitter.
Is this bat legal for 14 and under travel ball play?

I'm an 8th grader and about 5'4" and 125 lbs. and wanting to upgrade from a 31 in. 28 oz. Easton Hammer. Would this be a good upgrade?
The Marucci Team would definitely be a great bat to upgrade to. The Team is a full alloy bat like the Hammer and you shouldn't have any problems switching to this bat!
Would it be too heavy, in your opinion, for a 13 year old who is 5'3" and 100 pounds?
Based on that height and weight, a 29" bat is recommended. Since the smallest size we currently have available is a 31" 28oz, these sizes will probably be too large for you. However, if you feel like you can swing a 31" bat, then I say go for it! It shouldn't hurt anything.
Where is it made?
Marucci’s headquarters is located in Baton Rouge, LA. However, the Marucci Team model is manufactured overseas.

Do you think it will get banned like the CAT 5?
I do not think the Marucci Team BBCOR bat will get banned like the 33" Marucci CAT 5. The 33" 30 oz. CAT 5 was the only size that was decertified. Marucci has since done a great job of testing their bats to make sure they are legal for play at the different levels. If the Marucci Team does lose its BBCOR certification, the NCAA and NFHS will be the governing bodies that make this ruling.

Would you recommend the CAT 5, Marucci Black, or Marucci Team based on pop? I am a power hitter.
All are great bats with very good pop. The CAT 5 and Team models are one-piece bats that often benefit power hitters. The CAT 5 was one of the highest performing BBCOR bats on the market, but it has been discontinued and we no longer have any in stock. I think the Team bat is comparable to the CAT 5, but it will be hard to match the CAT 5's performance. If you prefer a one-piece bat, go with the Team, if you have traditionally used two-piece bats with success, go with the Marucci Black.

What is better, the Marucci Team or the Marucci Black?
