About Marucci Sports
Like most great all-American stories, Marucci comes from humble beginnings. Started in a 6'x9' tool shed by Jack Marucci and two former big leaguers, Kurt Ainsworth and Joe Lawrence, Marucci was built on an unflinching commitment to handcrafting the best wood bat in the game.
Today more than 300 big leaguers use Marucci bats, including Albert Pujols, Andrew McCutchen, José Bautista, and David Ortiz. Marucci is majority owned by professional players and uses its player advisory board to design the game's most innovative product line-up, which includes wood and aluminum bats, batting gloves and protective equipment.
