Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat

Power hitters who want a perfect blend of heft and control.

Perfect bat for: 

The ICON is the new hot bat from Rawlings. It's the top bat in the market right now. In terms of sales, very popular. You've got a lot of guys online doing reviews on it. I think the hype comes from the merger between Easton and Rawlings. They've got a lot of technology and have come up with a really strong-performing bat this season. 

Tony from BatExperts

The Rawlings ICON is a two-piece composite baseball bat with a massive barrel, lighter swing, and a flexible connection piece. The ICON comes in a BBCOR, USSSA, and USA model and replaces the Rawlings Quatro Pro as the top-of-the-line offering from Rawlings. This bat features a cutting-edge In/Tense composite construction that maximizes barrel size and performance. The Zero Loss technology enhances durability and handle flex, creating a smooth and powerful swing. 

Progression of the Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat

The ICON boasts a cutting-edge In/Tense composite construction that maximizes sweet spot size for consistent power, potentially edging out the CAT X in sheer barrel real estate. The Marucci CAT X Composite counters with a stiff S-40 composite handle for a more balanced swing weight, aiding developing hitters with bat control. The Louisville Slugger META goes for a more traditional feel with its Lite Alloy design, offering a comfortable swing and a balanced weight distribution for both power and control. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your needs: maximum sweet spot size (ICON), balanced swing with a stiff handle for development (CAT X Composite), or a traditional feel with a balanced weight (META).

### Progression of the Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat:

  
2023 is the first year of the Rawlings ICON.  
  

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   The Rawlings Icon is a beast on the field. Hits are powerful and consistent.
    
-   The sweet spot on this thing is like a magnet for the ball. It's tough as nails and can take a beating, which is exactly what you need in the game.
    
-   It's light and easy to swing. The ICON gives me control on the barrel. It feels lighter than other -3 bats. There is ZERO sting on this carbon composite. The ICON has a HUGE sweet spot and pop
    

**CONS**

-   The stock grip is just kinda okay – not as sticky or comfy as I expected. It's no deal-breaker, though. Folks generally like to tweak their grips to suit their style.
    
-   I'm not a big fan of the tapered knob on the ICON because I like to feel the handle more at the bottom (purely preference), but the handle feels fantastic.
    
-   The barrel cracked at the base of the handle. Travel ball practice starts this week and his brand new Icon is useless.
    

### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, and USA
