Marucci Story
Based in Baton Rouge, LA, Marucci was founded by two former professional baseball players and their athletic trainer who began handcrafting bats from their garage. Fast forward 10 years, and that dedication to quality and understanding of players' needs has turned the company into an all-American success story with Marucci being the No. 1 bat in the Big Leagues. Today, Marucci makes wood and aluminum bats, batting gloves, protective gear and other baseball and softball accessories. Star players including Albert Pujols, Chase Utley, David Ortiz, José Bautista and Andrew McCutchen invest their hard-earned money and time to advise Marucci on product design and test its products.
