Who is the 2027 DeMarini Exile for?

Quick take: The 2027 DeMarini Exile is the one to wait on if your hitter fits this lane: BBCOR hitters who want a simple, likely balanced alloy bat from DeMarini. Expect the same broad identity as the previous model, then let swing weight, price, and first swings decide the final call.

Best fit

  • Players tracking an affordable DeMarini BBCOR alloy option.
  • Hitters who prefer direct one-piece feedback over a soft two-piece feel.

Look elsewhere if

What is the quick review?

The 2027 DeMarini Exile is close. It has its BBCOR approval, and we expect it to hit shelves in Late June 2026. Our read, like the 2026 DeMarini Exile before it, is that it fits the accessible BBCOR alloy lane with DeMarini DNA.

What models and sizes are available?

The current model codes are EOC-27, EOC-27 CSTM, with listed lengths of 31, 32, 32.5, 33, 33.5, 34. That size run suggests DeMarini expects Exile to remain a full BBCOR line like previous models. Price-wise, we will see, but we would expect it to land near the previous version's $349.95 - $350 range unless DeMarini changes the line strategy.

How is it built?

The listed barrel material is metal. Prior Exile behavior points toward a one-piece alloy build. The next thing to check is whether DeMarini changes the alloy, end cap, handle setup, or production feel from the previous version.

How does it compare?

Compared with the 2026 Exile, the 2027 model looks more like a continuation than a total platform change. We would expect balance, durability, or cosmetic refinements before expecting a major performance jump.

Bottom line

The 2027 DeMarini Exile is worth the wait for DeMarini fans who want the latest version of a more accessible DeMarini BBCOR alloy. As it gets closer to launch, we will keep updating this page, but pay close attention to DeMarini and retailer social feeds for drop dates.
