This bat fits players accustomed to a 33" length and 30 oz weight, typically high school and collegiate athletes with moderate to fast swing speeds. The hybrid construction helps reduce vibration and improve feel, making it a good choice for hitters wanting a combination of power and control. Its barrel size is standard for high-level play, providing a good sweet spot without excess bulk. This used bat is suitable for serious players needing a performance-focused BBCOR option.

The Goods series from DeMarini is available in BBCOR, USA, and USSSA and features a hybrid "Half + Half" construction, combining an alloy barrel with a composite handle. Designed for power hitters, it offers an end-loaded swing weight and effective energy transfer. With its X14 Alloy Barrel, The Goods ensures maximum stiffness and a large sweet spot, resulting in exceptional pop.

“

The Goods is a top performer and the newest model is the most expensive hybrid bat on the market. It's an end loaded bat for that power hitter in your lineup. The alloy is strong, and it has a good whip to it. Overall, The Goods is in the top five in the hybrids for both BBCOR and youth. The youth was less popular because it was a heavier-feeling.
