Dating Marucci Bats

[joelsabi]

How do you date Marucci bats? Thanks in advance.

My Marucci bat has the date on the knob, wt. and length and the players number.

I thought most had the date stamped on the knob in some fashion...

hmmm... mine looks like this.

hmmm... mine looks like this.

so that discounts it being from the 2007.

hmmm... mine looks like this.

hmmm..a #5 marucci thats 34" and 31.9oz...wonder whose bat that could be.

I think they might not have put dates on some of the earliest models, probably when Howard and Pujols first started ordering.

Joel,
Your Pujols "Frankenbat" was discussed here: http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ghlight=pujols

The barrel is from 2008 and the handle is from 2007, or vice versa.

No its a Marucci.

No its a Marucci.

I know its a Marucci. I called a Frankenbat because that is how Jeff Scott referred to it. As in Frankenstein. Your seller took a handle from one bat and glued it to a barrel from another.

And I was incorrect. The barrel is from 2009 and the handle is from 2008.

The knob in the original post here is not from the 'frankenbat.' This bat has no date on the knob, while the frankenbat one specifically DID have a date (thus it was so easy to tell that the handle was from 2008 but the barrel--with the ink dot--was from 2009).
