Step up your game with the 2026 DeMarini The Goods™ Hybrid (-8) USSSA Baseball Bat, the ultimate upgrade for travel ball players moving on from a (-10) model. Built for stronger, more advanced hitters, this two-piece hybrid design combines a massive 2 ¾” X14 Alloy Barrel—the largest allowed in USSSA—with the smooth, forgiving feel of a Paraflex™ Plus Composite Handle. The result is a balanced blend of explosive pop, control, and comfort that lets players attack pitches with confidence.
DeMarini’s Half + Half construction returns with a fresh Direct Connection, ensuring optimal energy transfer while reducing vibration on contact. The lightweight Tracer End Cap keeps your swing quick and efficient, while the enlarged sweet spot offers consistent hard contact across the barrel. Ideal for elite travel ball athletes seeking a durable, game-ready bat with the performance to match their rising skill level, The Goods™ (-8) delivers every time you step into the box.

OPTION GUIDE: Should I order this bat stock/untouched or Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure?
If you order your new bat Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure, it will be delivered to you completely and evenly broken in. This process adds 20-40ft of distance to your solid hits and adds 2-3 business days of lead time to your order. If you plan to use the bat in an official game or event, please verify the legality of our process with your league or sanctioning body before use. We (LongballBats.com) do not encourage the use of a Heat Rolled bat in any game or event where it is against the rules. Click here for details about our process!
