Welcome to BatSmash.com’s 2020 DeMarini The Goods BBCOR baseball bat review, the #1 selection in this year’s 2020 Best High School BBCOR bat selection.

One of the hottest BBCOR bats on the market is the 2020 The Goods DeMarini baseball bat (2-piece). In this review, we will be looking at the characteristics of this two-piece constructed bat that has made it such a hot commodity in dugouts across the country.

We will take a look at how DeMarini built this hybrid bat and the type of expectations a hitter should have when standing at the plate. Continue reading to see why it earned an A grade and is a top choice for high school players.

We will once again look at certain attributes such as comfort, power, durability, and design in our effort to give you the best possible information to help with your baseball bat shopping.

We are aware of the new 2021 model of DeMarini’s The Goods BBCOR baseball bat, but since we have not had the chance to fully test it out yet, we will have to keep you posted on our future review. Please stay tuned on BatSmash.com for that, and many more bat reviews coming soon!

Construction

The first thing to note when looking at the design of the 2020 DeMarini BBCOR The Goods model is its two-piece, composite handle with an alloy construction. The handle is made from special composite materials that eliminate sting and vibration upon making contact. The 2020 Goods also comes with a massive “x14” alloy barrel, ensuring the bat is properly end-loaded with maximum power and a giant sweet spot.

Finally, DeMarini included what they call a “stiff seismic end cap” at the top of the barrel, which allows for smooth energy transfer on contact. All of these structural components come together to make 2020 The Goods one of the more powerful BBCOR baseball bats on the market.

Comfort and Durability

If there is one aspect of the 2020 DeMarini The Goods bat that might be a drawback for some, it would be how the bat feels and swings. This BBCOR baseball bat is specifically designed for power hitters rather than contact hitters with its stiff handle and x14 alloy barrel.

If you are a player that is familiar with an end-loaded swing weight, aluminum barrel, and swing for the fences, you probably will not find a better fit on the bat market. However, specialty or contact hitters will probably want to look elsewhere. They may find “The Goods” to lack the bat speed and balanced feel that fits the contact hitter profile.

It is crucial to know before purchasing that this is a bat designed for huge pop and power, with premium swinging comfort being a secondary concern.

Power

Because of the seismic end cap, top-heavy swing weight, and massive “x14” alloy barrel on this BBCOR baseball bat, there is plenty of power to go around and was deemed our top power bat in our yearly bat awards.

Many of the reviews online noted that 2020 The Goods is a bat that is built for “hitting bombs” and using it more and more will only serve to give the hitter better mental confidence in their power. The stiff end cap is another favorite aspect of the bat in many reviewers’ feedback, because it allows for a substantial, yet comfortable “trampoline effect” when making good contact. This means the ball jumps off of the sweet spot of the bat in a hugely satisfying and forceful way.

DeMarini has made it a top priority to maximize the power potential in every hitter who picks up the 2020 The Goods baseball bat.

Cons of the Demarini 2020 The Goods BBCOR Baseball Bat

As always, we at BatSmash.com pride ourselves on being completely transparent in our baseball bat reviews, so we have once again decided to include a few possible drawbacks regarding this bat.

One drawback that may indicate this bat is not for you is simply that the barrel is completely aluminum, making the swinging experience a little heavier and end loaded. Batters that are more used to using composite bats, or even lighter alloy bats, may find this model to be a little too on the heavy side.

A fully composite BBCOR baseball bat, such as the Rawlings Quatro Pro, will offer a completely different experience regarding things like bat speed, durability, and swing weight. It is important to know that with the purchase of the DeMarini 2020 The Goods, you are signing up for huge power potential while possibly sacrificing bat control.

We want you to be aware of these possible issues beforehand so that you’ll be fully informed when it comes to pulling the trigger and purchasing “The Goods” over other high-end BBCOR bats.

Conclusion

Grade: A

When looking at the market for BBCOR Alloy bats, there are few that can match the power and the confidence that comes with that, then with this model. DeMarini has once again proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the BBCOR sports world, and with this model, they put all of their energy into literally giving the hitter the biggest bang for their buck.

The 2020 The Goods is the perfect choice for power hitters looking to hone their bat skills, but it can also be a great choice for those looking to add more pop and maximize energy transfer on contact.

While the two-piece, end loaded design may take some getting used to, you will get plenty of results. We do not see many other BBCOR bats on the market right now that can compete with this model’s sheer potential for hard and powerful hitting.

DeMarini’s 2020 The Goods may not be the best bat for every hitter, but if you are a hitter looking to hit bombs that leave the ballpark, this is the model for you. The Voodoo One would be our choice from DeMarini for a balanced swing.

If you are looking for a balanced or one-piece bat, we invite you to read our Best BBCOR Bat Reviews.
