Rawlings 243 Big Stick Elite Maple Wood Baseball Bat RBSM5R243
The pure maple 243 that launches missiles and demands respect.
Rawlings took the most feared power profile in the game—the massive-barreled 243—and carved it from hand-selected, pro-grade hard maple for that unmistakable bone-hard feel and ear-splitting “CRACK.” Dense grain, flame-tempered barrel, cupped end, and a pro ink dot on every single bat so you know it’s MLB-quality straightness and hardness. Thick handle, explosive end-loaded swing weight, and a glossy natural finish with black branding that looks straight off a big-league rack. This is the bat that turns 95 mph inside heat into 450-foot souvenirs and makes pitchers rethink their life choices.
Bat Features
- 243 Turning Model – Huge 2.56" barrel, thick handle, flared knob—the ultimate power hitter’s profile
- Pro-Grade Hard Maple Construction – Hand-selected, ultra-dense wood for maximum hardness and explosive pop
- Flame-Tempered Barrel – Heat-hardened surface drives exit velo through the roof from day one
- Cupped End – Perfectly balanced so the monster barrel still whips fast and stays under control
- Pro Ink Dot Certified – Slope-of-grain tested for MLB straightness and performance
- Approximate –3 Drop – Adult length-to-weight, BBCOR-approved for high school, college, and wood-bat leagues
- No warranty
