Best BBCOR Bats 2026

Louisville Slugger's 2025 Atlas is like the 2024 version but with a more tapered knob. They've had so much success with it they are not only going to stick with it, but stick with trying to convince people they haven't changed the barrel, and our EV tests suggested that might not be entirely true. It's a solid if not overhyped bat.

EXD Alloy barrel with ST7 alloy handle. 3FX-PWR connection system for optimal power transfer. PWR end cap for enhanced barrel performance.

​The 2025 Rawlings Clout AI BBCOR bat is a one-piece alloy bat designed serious players, it has a mid-load and a good sized barrel. Rawlings claims to use some kind of AI technology to optimize barrel performance. It's a great bat and fits a lot of hitters.

The 2025 DeMarini Voodoo One is a single piece bat with a smaller barrel profile but it packs a punch. People have loved the Voodoo One since it got internet famous in 2021. Even though it has lost some appeal with some durability concerns, it still swings light and hits the ball hard.

The 2026 DeMarini The Goods BBCOR (WBD2588010) is an end-loaded hybrid bat designed for high school and college power hitters. DeMarini claims it has an upgraded Direct Connection to improve durability and give it a stiffer feel. The Goods has always been a great line up and the '26 expects to be no different.

The 2025 Combat MFG Spec A1 Cookies and Cream is a limited-edition BBCOR bat, with only 3000 individually numbered units produced. This one-piece alloy bat is designed for high school and college players who want a balanced swing weight and a good sweet spot. The cookies and cream was the 3rd bat to drop in the series.

The 2025 Rawlings ICON uses a seamless carbon construction for its barrel and comes in a 31, 32, 33 and 34-inch lengths. The bat is a relatively popular composite barreled bat and hits the ball well.

The 2025 Marucci CAT X2 BBCOR is a single piece alloy bat from a superb line of bats with a huge range in sizes that work for every hitter. It's generally thought to be a light swing with a top end barrel that's durable and used by every level in the BBCOR Game.

Two piece hybrid bat that is a reprint of the highly rated 2024 version.

The 2025 Louisville Slugger Dynasty BBCOR is a balanced, one-piece alloy bat designed for high school and collegiate players seeking a stiff feel and a great value. Slugger has a few marketing names for the end cap, it appears. Some claim it has the XPND Performance End Cap, others that it is the SPD generation 2. In any case, it uses what they call a TPX-24 Alloy.

The 2019 Louisville Slugger Meta Prime is one of our top picks for 2019.

The DeMarini Voodoo Overlord is an iconic bat with a heavy swing and real power. It is a classic in the Voodoo/The Goods line and is a great bat for the kid who knows BBCOR bats haven't been much better since 2015.

The 2024 DeMarini The Goods released in mid August 2023. The bat has a $50 price point increase that's arguably justified by the new expanded warranty (offering multiple replacements through the first year of ownership). It also has a new "fortified" knob, a rethought out connection piece and the same legit barrel that made the 2022, 2021 and 2020 versions the best hybrid on the market.

We don't know much about the CAT X Connectin BBCOR, but we do know its coming and we can't wait to hit it. When it does drop and we can get our data gathered on the bat we will update this page.
