For several years, Will Smith has been swinging the D200 model bat from Lousiville Slugger that was originally used by and created for retired Giants’ catcher Buster Posey before he switched to Marucci. This bat features a large barrel, a flare knobbed, and a very balanced feel. Smith says, “A lot of big barrel bats get top-heavy. But the handle on this lets it feel a little bit more balanced when I’m swinging it.”
Smith filled us in on his bat of choice during our locker tour with him back in 2020, which you can check out below. Unfortunately, it is no longer for sale, but Buster Posey’s signature model bat from Marucci was crafted to have a similar feel and actually is available. You can get that at MarucciSports.com starting at $200.
