Released June 10, 2026, the 2027 DeMarini Exile is a $349.95 one-piece alloy bat with a mid-loaded swing. It is best suited to stronger hitters who prefer a stiff feel and more weight in the barrel than they get from the Voodoo One.
Models Overview
The standard retail model is WBD2704010. NCAA-approved versions include EOC-27, EOC-27 CSTM, and the Kintsugi EOC-27BG, with approved lengths from 31 to 34 inches. We have not found evidence that the Kintsugi version differs from the standard Exile beyond its appearance.
Construction & Technology
DeMarini lists a one-piece X14 alloy barrel, Tracer End Cap, handle taper, and Damplify Knob. The 33-inch bat has a listed MOI of 9350, which puts it firmly in the mid-loaded range. Expect the stiff feedback that comes with a one-piece alloy, especially on mishits.
Performance Comparison
DeMarini has not announced a major construction change from the 2026 Exile. Buyers should expect a similar mid-loaded, one-piece feel while more information develops about comfort and durability over a full season.
Comparable Bats
Start with the 2026 Exile if you want the closest comparison. The 2026 Omega offers a smoother two-piece feel, while the 2026 Louisville Slugger Omaha is another practical one-piece alloy option.

The Bottom Line
The Exile is a power-oriented one-piece alloy at a premium price. It can work well for the right hitter, but the mid-load and firm mishit feedback make it a poor blind buy for players who prefer balanced bats.
