Oh, that's better, son.
That's better, son.
Let's go!
What up, what up? Will here with the Baseball Bat Bros.
And today, folks, we have
three mystery bats, and I
know that these are three of the best
one-piece alloy BB cores in the game.
But that is the problem. I know exactly
what these bats are. So today,
I've come all the way to Spartanburg,
South Carolina, to enlist my brother
to conduct this test for us.
John didn't even know we were doing this today.
Do you know what these bats are?
No. You're not quite up-to-date on all the
latest BB cores.
So we're gonna see if, one,
you can tell the difference between these bats.
Two, if you're savvy enough to guess
which one is which. And three, we're gonna have
you blind-rank these three.
Let us know your honest thoughts of which one
is the best. We'll reveal them at the end.
So you ready? I can do that. Let's do it.
I haven't even felt them.
So here's the bats. Completely
concealed. I mean, end cap
and everything. We do have different colored grips
just so John knows he's swinging different
bats when he picks up different bats. So we are
in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This is
the home of the Hi-A affiliate for the
Texas Rangers. John's team,
the Hub City Spartanburgers. The field's
roughly modeled after
Globe Life, the Rangers field. So right field's
attainable, but the wind
is blowing straight in from right, and the left field
is huge. So a
home run means a lot more than it typically
does today. So you are making a
massive decision for the bat market
without even knowing which bat is which. So it's kind of sick.
Okay, I don't know where it's going.
Heads up. Whoa.
It's pingy. That felt
amazing. That sounds
really cool. That hit pretty hard.
I know what it is.
No, you don't. Yeah, I do. That was 106.
I thought it was coming off the end.
Now that Kyle Hendricks is
out of the game, we can get going
again. Oh boy.
102?
Good hack, dude. That felt pretty good.
Jeez.
108 miles an hour.
Oh my gosh. Alright, got a good feel.
Okay, what brand do you think
that bat is?
I haven't tried the others. D Marini.
You think it's a D Marini? Yeah.
To be fair, I'm not 100% sure what it is
either. Alright, pink bat.
That sounds really cool.
107.
106.
The sweet spot's just different with metal.
Tough part of the park to do it.
Yeah.
102, 385.
Oh, jeez.
That'll play.
I don't even know what that one is.
Alright. That was 102.
This looks like a tell.
Green bat, yellow bat?
This is either the
Mizuno Power Carbon
or the Combat. I don't know about that.
I wouldn't put the Combat in this.
Such a good bat.
Oh, he clipped me.
Bro, this field's huge.
Oh, yeah.
106 off the wall.
Does that sound familiar?
Oh my gosh.
110.2.
You suck, dude. I know.
It sounds like a wood bat. 107.
Alright, back to the orange.
Okay.
This feels a little whippier. Alright.
I like that.
109. I'm just killing the second
baseman's knees right now.
Dude, that was so hard.
No way.
106
at a 26-3 launch angle.
It said that went 412 feet.
This is not Bend, Oregon, man. I appreciate it.
Oh, in Bend, that would've gone 490.
Oh, that's hitting a house in Bend, yeah.
105.
Oh.
110.5.
That's your high on the day.
That's a great bat.
Switching to the pink guy.
This one,
the orange bat feels the whippiest.
Yep.
This feels the heaviest. Interesting.
That's hit hard.
Got the hands to it.
107.5.
It's a pretty solid barrel.
He's all got a solid sweet spot.
Second baseman's dead.
109.
Hands.
Oh, boy.
Sweet spot's better on this
than the orange bat.
Sweet spot's better? Sweet spot's better.
Yellow bat.
107.9.
That was a pretty good strike.
Oh, jeez. Last one.
Yeah.
Get to the scoreboard, please.
Dude,
wind is blowing straight in from right.
That's diabolical.
105 miles an hour.
390.
That was right center.
This has got to show me something.
It's whippy,
but that's about all it's got so far.
It's a little more rigid than the other two.
Little hands.
That was so high
in the air, bro.
Got to play.
102 at a 40 degree.
You know what?
I have something for you.
I'm going to bring out the bat bro balls
for one swing with each bat.
Give you a different perspective.
Oh.
112.
Lordy.
113.1.
That was one of the most satisfying swings I've had.
You got to give them all a chance with these guys.
Said 420 feet.
Nice.
111.
Tomahawk.
106 backside.
Jeez.
113.5.
That was well struck.
109.434.
What's the last bat you need to swing with these?
Orange bat.
101.
I let it get deep.
106.6.
Did you barrel it though?
Yeah.
Oh, that's batter's eye.
That's batter's eye.
Let's go.
109.2.
Do you need any or do you know?
I know.
Can I get one lefty?
Yes.
This kind of stings.
This is the orange bat.
God, it feels good when you barrel it though, man.
Did it say VLO there? Was that 100 at least?
98.7.
Alright.
This is hot, but it kind of stings.
Alright, pink bat.
That feels a lot like the combat.
That feels nice.
106.3.
That almost feels like a stinger or something.
Like a stinger bat.
It's got kind of a clubby barrel on it.
Alright, yellow bat.
This is the one that you think is the combat?
Yeah.
If I put a combat in this?
Oh my goodness.
Oh geez.
This one's got some barrel.
That was kind of jammed.
Scoreboard.
105.5.
Okay, let me get one more thinky.
I think it's between yellow and think personally.
I agree.
You agree?
Yeah.
Don't BS me. What were you going to think?
The yellow and pink.
Really?
And I got something that might surprise you.
They feel similar.
What was that?
104.
406.
That feels amazing.
You hit them way more than me.
I want to hear what you think.
Orange bat.
That's the first bat you swung?
Yeah.
Rigid?
Yeah, but it's a good rigid.
Let's you know if you got in the sweet spot.
I like it, obviously. Great bat.
Moving on.
Pink bat.
This feels kind of like the wood bat I swing right now.
Interesting.
The sound on it? Absurd.
Pop was up there with this one.
Yellow bat.
I know what this is.
Great bat.
What is it?
It's the combat.
The barrel feels kind of weird.
It's soft,
but that's because it compresses.
What was the lightest?
What was the heaviest?
I'm not well with heavy and light.
With whippy and balanced?
From what I heard you say,
I think you're probably correct.
This felt the most balanced.
Distributed weight.
This felt the most whippy.
Like out there weight.
Kind of feel like I'm swinging a whip.
This one is like overall weight.
Mass.
Feels like I square the ball up.
It's just going to bully the ball.
It feels heavy, but not in a bad way?
In a great way. I love it.
Let's just cut right to the chase.
My number one?
What was your number three?
Orange bat.
That's your number three?
I know what it is too.
Let me see.
What's your guess?
It's not from tell.
What do you mean from tell?
I've been watching your videos.
I know the sounds of every bat you've ever hit with.
Let's see if you're right.
Your official guess is...
You want me to go?
The DeMarini Exile.
I swear to God I did not tell him anything.
I did not tell him anything.
Dude, I'm impressed.
We'll unwrap it more,
but that's that red.
I've been watching your reviews.
It was rigid, but man, it was hot.
And wow, it was whippy.
Swings like the Atlas, right?
It does, but it's a little different than the Atlas.
It's got more gumption.
While I'm doing this,
go ahead and pick your number two.
My number two?
How about I pick my number one?
Kind of like bodybuilding showcase style.
Give me your number one and try to tell me what bat you think it is.
My number one today...
I'd go hand in hand with these,
but because I like the mass,
I like the heaviness,
I'm going with the Maruti Reckless.
What?!
Dude!
You're good! You watch the videos!
I've been locked in! I've watched every video ever!
You need to stop watching so much YouTube, dude.
Let's go!
Bro! That's all I can do.
Dude, I'm telling you guys,
I didn't even let him in my hotel room.
You want me to get at this one?
Yeah, what do you think that is?
Oh, the Combat.
What color, though?
You've been swinging that, like,
almost sunset Maruti orangish color one?
I don't swing 34s, though.
These are specifically for you.
Alright, then this is the mint green one.
It's a terrible guess.
Dang it, it's the orange one.
So, you liked the Reckless the most?
Yeah, it felt pretty nuts.
I also remember you telling me...
You nailed my rankings, too.
These are, like, in my video,
these were almost the exact same.
And then I have the Exile right below both of them.
But this is what I wanted you to do.
This is what I was confused about.
And that's why I brought these two bats here.
I didn't want to do it, because the Combat's a goat.
But, dude, like...
It's an insanely good bat.
Now, how do you even start on these?
I don't know how to get this off.
How do you do this?
Let's show them.
Trust us, this is the Reckless One Piece.
This is the Combat.
So, right now, I have the Reckless One Piece
ranked 3 behind the Reckless Two Piece.
And the Combat ranked 1.
The Two Piece is just goading.
The Two Piece is so sick.
The Two Piece might be your favorite bat.
I like Two Pieces, by the way.
If you had to pick one,
you would consider gaming
the Reckless One Piece over the Combat?
I mean, for, like, right now feel?
Yeah.
But, I switch bats all the time.
I think that's a good way to
get out of a lull you're in.
If you're not hitting great, switch bats.
Pick up your teammate's bat.
Feels good? Gives you some confidence.
More evidence that this is indeed the Maroochii.
Good, dude.
That's kind of what I was hoping.
Because I didn't want to say this was as good
or better than the Combat without your approval.
So, that was good to see.
It's like they copied the Combat.
It feels so much like.
How do you do that?
Like, no other bat was like the Combat.
And then they came out with the bat.
They probably ripped it open and studied the heck out of it, dude.
And it's not the exact same.
They made their own distinct variation.
Good freaking job.
