The 2024 DeMarini The Goods One Piece is a stiff, mid-to-end-loaded one-piece alloy BBCOR bat built for strong hitters who like a wood-like feel and don’t mind feedback. It’s best for players who can consistently barrel the ball and want a heavier one-piece than the light-swinging options. The 2024 update centers on the fortified knob and a higher price; the overall profile stays in the same lane as prior years.
Models Overview
The Goods One Piece is offered as a BBCOR (-3) stock bat with a stiff feel, an average-to-smaller barrel, and a swing weight that leans mid-loaded. The main “2024” callouts are the fortified knob update and the higher price tag—so your real decision is whether you want this stiffer, heavier one-piece profile or you’d rather go lighter (Voodoo One / Atlas) or more forgiving (two-piece composite).
Construction & Technology
One-piece X14 alloy with a stiff, direct feel and plenty of feedback—closer to a wood-bat vibe than most two-piece bats. The Tremor end cap and barrel profile keep it power-forward, and the fortified metal compound knob is the 2024 durability update DeMarini rolled into several stock bats. DeMarini also advertises an expanded one-year warranty for multiple repairs or exchanges.
Performance Comparison
2024’s meaningful change is the fortified knob update; otherwise it stays very close to prior Goods One Piece versions, with the notable price increase. If you can find the older model year for less, the performance story is similar.
Comparable Bats
Comparable stiff, feedback-forward one-piece alloys include the Louisville Slugger Solo, Easton’s Alpha ALX line, and Mizuno’s Hot Metal—similar one-piece stiffness where the differences are barrel profile, swing weight, and price.

The Bottom Line
The Goods One Piece is still what it has always been: a stiff, power-forward one-piece for hitters who can square it up. The biggest question for 2024 is value—because the bat profile is familiar, the older model year is often the smarter buy.
