The 2026 DeMarini Zen -8 USSSA Baseball Bat is made for advanced travel ball players stepping up from -10 models and looking for more mass, more power, and the same incredible Zen feel. Its Dark Matter Composite Barrel features a re-engineered layup for an enormous sweet spot, hot performance, and a smooth, forgiving feel that lets you attack every pitch with confidence.
The gradual barrel taper extends peak performance across more of the hitting surface, while the Zen Direct Connection fuses the barrel to a composite handle for maximum energy transfer with minimal sting. Balanced swing weighting keeps your hands quick while the extra mass in the -8 drop delivers heavy, loud contact. Finished with an Anomaly End Cap to optimize pop and control, the Zen -8 is USSSA certified and ready for serious hitters chasing big results.
