There’s still a lot to learn about the 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro. The bat is changed from the 2021 and previous year’s versions of the Quatro Pro. But are the changes for changes’ sake, or are they for goodness sake? Time will only tell, but we have high hopes for the Quatro Pro and will update this page when we get more information and data on the 2022 Quatro Pro. But, with changes to the knob, a redesigned barrel and a new connecting piece, the 2022 Quatro Pro has some serious legs.
The jury is still out if the improvements to the barrel, connection piece, and knob are worth the changes for the 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro in USSSA and BBCOR. But, the changes are more than just cosmetic. Are they a change for good or modifications for the sake of change we will see as the season progresses (and we update this page with what we find)? But, to be sure, we are watching the 2022 Quatro Pro with a lot of interest.

The 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro MAX is the same as the Quatro Pro but added swing weight. The bat is similar in thinking to Slugger's META PWR. The bat is built for the big hitter who likes all the features of a two-piece composite (big barrel, great feel, superb sound) but needs an end load. The Quatro Pro Max is a BBCOR only bat and comes in only a 32 through 34. Our gut sense here is that the bat won't sell very often, and very few will find it the right for them. However, the occasional college-level hitter who likes the two-piece composite vibe but can't get enough swing weight out of their Quatro Pro will find value in the 2022 Quatro Max.

There's a lot to learn about the new and redesigned 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro. A stiffer feel and a more consistent barrel are what the USSSA form 2021 was lacking, so these improvements might be a welcome change. The added knob tech that allows for a blast motion (sold separately) to insert seamlessly in the bat is also a nice touch. But the CF and CAT 9 Composite have run away with this field. The added ZOA from DeMarini only makes it more difficult, but we do expect to see the Quatro Pro for 2022 make some headway in 2022. We'll update this as more information comes to light.

There are several two-piece composite bats built with a big barrel and light swing. These types of bats attracted the good to great hitter who plays a lot of baseball, prefers light swings and wants a big barrel and top-end performance. Easton’s version is called the ADV Hype (previously known as the ADV 360); DeMarini has a CF and a ZOA; Marucci has the CAT 9 Composite; Louisville Slugger has a Prime and Meta. The 2022 Quatro from Rawlings is their take on this premium lineup.
There are several changes from the 2021 and 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro. They’ve changed the connection piece to be stiffer —that is across each line. So, if you didn’t like how loose the connection felt from 2017 through 2021 BBCOR or USSSA bats, expect the 2022 version as much stiffer bat. They’ve also added a carve-out in the knob where a blast motion sensor fits.
Like previous years, the 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro is a two-piece composite bat with a massive barrel and ultra-light swing. Major changes come in the knob which is built to hold a Blast Motion sensor and a reengineered connection piece for greater stiffness. Still, though, the bat is made with a big barrel and a light swing which is what hitters expect from the Rawlings Quatro Pro. It comes in a USSSA drop 10, 8 and 5 and a BBCOR version.
