Description
Marucci 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. Marucci 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. Marucci 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. Marucci uses an Ultra Penetrating Stain that provides the best possible finish for your next Marucci Bat. Most impressive is the Bone Rubbing technique that they use. "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 with the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (AP5YB) today. Free Shipping!

Can wooden bats play on the Intermediate level because next season I playing Intermediate. And also I'm going to buy the Easton S1 big barrel and also a wooden bat too. Tran4617
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Bat: AP5YB Youth is legal in the Intermediate Division of Little League. The 2013 Easton S1: SL13S110 Senior League is not legal in the Intermediate Division of Little League.
Kara
My son is in 7th Grade and swings a Vexxum 31''/26oz. He must swing wood in league and the Marucci youth wood bats fit these dimensions. He is a big kid at 5'9'' 145 lbs. Is he appropriate for a youth bat? Marc
The dimensions on the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Bat (AP5YB) make this bat a great option to go with when moving from the DeMarini Vexxum. The Vexxum features a balanced swing weight, similar to the balanced swing weight of this Albert Pujols model so it would be a great option for him to use when going to a wood model.

I use the DeMarini Voodoo Paradox -9 but I have to go into a wood bat league. Is this bat a good transition bat from my old light metal bat? Spider
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (AP5YB) features a -5 drop weight, so there will be an additional 4 oz. in this model compared to the DeMarini Voodoo bat that you are using currently. It does feature more of a balanced swing weight, which means that it will be a good option to work on bat speed and bat control. Another great option to check out, which would be a good transitional bat from aluminum to wood, would be the Marucci Chase Utley Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (CU26YB).

Cooper
My son is 14 and a freshman in high school. Smaller kid, but hitting a 32 inch -3 metal bat. What size wood bat would you recommend he use for workouts? KDog
We would suggest getting your son a 33 inch wood adult baseball bat. The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB is a youth model and would not be a good option to consider for a high school player as they drop in these bats are anywhere from -5 to -8 less than the length of the bat.
Cameron
My son is 12. He is 5'11" and 160 lbs. What size wood bat would you recommend he use for workouts? Boss
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 31" model in the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB.
Jason
What size barrel should my son use on a 60/90 foot field? Duke
The answer to your question is going to depend upon the bat limitations within your player's particular league. The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB is going to feature a 2 1/4" barrel diameter.
John P.
Do maple or ash bats have more "pop"? Will
I wouldn't say that a maple wood bat like this Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (AP5YB) will inherently be higher performing than an ash wood bat. Most players make a preference on wood type based off the feel that they prefer at contact. This maple bat would produce more of a stiff feel at contact while an ash bat would produce more of a flex feel at contact. As well, ash bats generally feel lighter than maple bats. Based upon these factors, most players are able to make a determination for a material of wood that they prefer.
Ben
My son is 10 next month and currently swings a COMBAT MAXUM 30 inch -12. He's 4'5" and 85 lbs. What is a good size wood bat for him for bp? Ps1
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 29" model in the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB.
Jason
Are Marucci Wood Youth Baseball bats with a 2 1/4 barrel diameter legal for senior league play, ages 15-16? Matthew
One would need to check and make sure that the bat would need to be a drop 3 length to weight ratio. Since you would be using a smaller barrel and a wood bat one would think that a drop 5 wood youth bat would be allowed but we would strongly recommend checking first before purchasing a bat like the Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB.
Cameron
Would it be good for my 11 year old son? Afam
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB is a great youth wood baseball bat to consider. This bat features a 30 day warranty through Marucci which is great since most youth players will break numerous wood bats. This bat does feature a drop 5 length-to-weight ratio. With some youth players, this can make it difficult to find the correct fit.
Cameron
What is the weight of the 29" bat? Scott
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB features an approximate -5 length to weight ratio and the 29" model will be about 24 oz.
Jason
What weight is the 30"? chris
The weight of the 30" Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat (AP5YB) is going to be approximately 25 ounces.
Carter
How does this bat compare in feel and weight distribution to the Cutch22 youth bat, also made by Marucci? Mac
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB and the Marucci Andrew McCutchen Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: CUTCH22YB are going to feel very similar in swing weight design. The AP5YB will have a slightly more balanced swing weight to some due to the taper design of the bat.
Cameron
Is it a good bat? dinger for days
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB is definitely a good bat. This bat is well balanced, features top quality maple wood, and comes with a 30-day manufacturer's warranty.

Would this be classified as USA approved? If not, what wood bats are? Brian Binkley
The Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB is approved for play in USA Baseball leagues since it is constructed of one solid piece of maple wood. As long as wood bats are made out of one piece of wood (maple, ash, or birch) with no composite or bamboo, they can be used in leagues that require USA certification.
Logan

Tori
What is the weight in ounces for this bat in a 30-inch size? Tom
The weight of a wood bat varies from one to the next, even within the same model due to differences in wood density. A 30" Marucci Albert Pujols Maple Wood Youth Baseball Bat: AP5YB will weigh about 24-25 ounces.
