This bat is built for power hitters who want maximum pop with a stiff, end-loaded hybrid feel. If you're strong enough to handle the weight and target deep contact, The Goods delivers explosiveness and durabilityโ€”but itโ€™s less suited for contact hitters or those needing a balanced feel.

The 2026 DeMarini The Goods is a two-piece hybrid BBCOR bat built around a stiff 1375 composite handle and a massive X14 alloy barrel. It has an end-loaded swing feel designed for power hitters who want serious pop without compromising energy transfer.

Models Overview

Available in standard dropโ€‘3 sizes, the bat includes DeMariniโ€™s updated Direct Connection interface to help add durability and a fortified metal-compound knob for better grip. Itโ€™s NCAA/NJCAA legal, comes with a one-year warranty, and targets serious power hitters.

Construction & Technology

The bat combines a X14 alloy barrel with a stiff 1375 composite handle. The upgraded connector link increases rigidity, they say, while a metal-compound knob improves control. The bat also features a Tremor end cap for barrel stability and consistent performance.

Performance Comparison

This yearโ€™s model carries over the massive X14 barrel but adds a beefed-up connection point and stiffer handle. The result: hopefully fewer telescoping failures, and improved durability.

Comparable Bats

Good comparison bats are like the Louisville Slugger Select PWR and Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid. All look to that more powerful hitter who wants a good feel, big barrel and a bit of load on the swing.
