Easton Mako BBCOR Bat Analysis
BBCOR Bats first came about around 2011 when college and high school baseball officials decided that far too many young pitchers were getting hurt by baseballs which were being launched back at them at incredible speeds with the use of bats such as “The Nike Bomb”.
Back then there weren’t too many BBCOR Baseball bats as the rule was a tad rushed into enforcement but the change did happen.
One of the many companies to jump on the gun and produce an extremely popular bat was the Easton MAKO BBCOR Bat which is bar my personal favorite.
In my high school career, I can remember many instances where I’d have multi-hit games using a Rawlings bat. Now this is pure superstition but hey, that’s baseball players for you.
But anyways, let’s get started with this review.
I'm making a review of all the bats that I currently own right now and all the ones that I haven't used that are for the future, then the ones I have used in the past and the ones that I currently use.
So let’s go down the list and show you guys what I have.
So we’ll start with what was the metal bats, big barrel versions on BBCOR and BESR. I have about four BBCOR ones, small barrels and woods.
So a huge reason for why BBCOR bats are illegal is because whenever baseballs were being hit the bat speed, well, not only the bad speed but also the speed at which the ball came off the bat was just so strong that pitchers are getting hurt left and right. As such, officials made a decision that they had to get rid of this bat promptly or they were just going to have people get killed off all the time.
So then the Rawlings 5150 came out, the DeMarini CF series came out, the Easton MAKO also came out which is arguably the most popular bad as of today. And the reason being is that it’s just comfortable to hold, it’s not only comfortable to hold but it's also very easy to manipulate, the ball just comes off the bat and you barely feel a thing and it's just very it's a very convenient bat. Especially now since BESR got banned.
There was most definitely a huge drop in runs and production since the inception of new bats with reduced “pop” and it’s been an incredibly powerful change. No longer do we have instances of people just trying to over-power each other and the small ball game has been resurrected in a way.
This is one of the most premiere bats to use right now, and that's a big reason why college baseball players love it.
So that's what I have to say that's my review I hope you guys found this review and information provided useful. This blog is fairly new but I'm going to keep adding content onto it and putting up reviews and telling tales of my playing days like an old man.
Alright that’s my time and I’ll see you guys on the next post. Take care
