Austin Riley swings the classic Marucci model, the AP5 Maple (Albert Pujols). This is arguably the bat that sparked Marucci’s rise to MLB dominance. The AP5 is part of the i13 family, the classic big barrel endloaded bat swung by decades of MLB sluggers. Riley’s AP5 has a tapered handle with a big ol’ knob to accommodate his 6’3/240 sized hands.
Dick’s has an impressive inventory of AP5 bats for $90-$230, including a BBCOR certified hybrid wood/composite. Shop an adult and youth version at BaseballExpress.com for $90-$180.
