2023 DeMarini The Goods Review

Updated August 9, 2023

The 2023 DeMarini The Goods is a drop 10 USA bat only. The 2022 version comes in BBCOR, USSSA and USA. Expect the 2024 the goods to come in all the different brands. The 2023, it appears to us, is a stop gap on the lack of inventory in the USA space and the fact that the 2022 version of the bat has sold out. In short, the USA The Goods is a good to great USA bat with a more reasonable price point than some its sister CF.

The 2023 The Goods in USA gets fantastic reviews. We are fans. It swings light, has a great feel, and can hit the ball really hard. The barrel profile is small---as is to be expected in an alloy barrel in the USA space. But, overall, it gets excellent ratings and, with the USA pop restrictions, can perform as well as any other USA bat on the market. Kids who can handle a bit of weight and want a great feel should check this out.

General Recommendations

If you need a drop 10 USA bat and don't want to spend top dollar for an ADV 360, and don't like the idea of the Marucci CAT Composite, than The Goods is an excellent choice. The barrel is pretty short, but it feels great and if you square one up it will go as far as anything else on the market.
