Built for the travel ball slugger on the cusp of BBCOR competition, the 2025 DeMarini Zen 2017 LIMITED EDITION (-5) brings back one of the most dominant bats in youth baseball history—now refined with Dark Matter Composite Barrel technology. This revolutionary material creates DeMarini’s largest-ever USSSA barrel profile with an ultra-light swing feel, giving advanced hitters the firepower to drive balls deep into the outfield gaps—or straight over the fence. With its extended sweet spot and consistent barrel response, this bat is all about elevating your offensive game.
The two-piece composite design features a stiff handle connected by the Anomaly Connection System, delivering maximum energy transfer and a smooth, connected feel on contact. Mishits are more forgiving, while high swing speeds are rewarded with explosive exit velocities. The Anomaly End Cap is optimized to reduce swing weight and enhance barrel control for next-level performance at the plate. Featuring a 2-3/4 inch barrel—the largest allowed in USSSA play—this limited edition -5 is perfect for players transitioning to BBCOR who need power, comfort, and balance in one elite tool.
Backed by a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, the Zen (-5) is available in limited quantities and built for players ready to take over the game.
