Designed and assembled in the USA, this 34"/26 oz bat is tournament-legal and built to deliver powerful, consistent hits for all skill levels.

## Description

A bat forged in fire. The 2018 Steel goes through a proprietary and patented heat-treating process to harden the barrel so the single-wall, carburized steel barrel increases performance and durability like never before. Made specifically for tournaments and leagues that don't allow multi-wall or composite barrels, the Steel is a hardened beast on the diamond. Pitchers will dread its sound.

## Features

- 12" Barrel
- Carburized Seamless Drawn Steel: Increased performance, strenght and durability. Designed specifically for DeMarini.
- ZnX Alloy Handle: By increasing stiffness and durability, the ZnX Alloy Handle flexes less and forces the barrel to deflect more for increased overall barrel performance
- Designed and assembled in the USA

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this purchase come with the factory warranty?**
A: It does come with a 1 year warranty. However the durability is pretty weak. Been meaning to do a detailed review. 
Blew threw 1 in about 10 months and got the warranty replacement which is a refurbished bat and it just cracked on me last night on day 28. Normal wear with no heavy hitting whatsoever. Wouldn’t recommend to be completely honest.

**Q: Is the bat end loaded or balanced?**
A: Hi, this is end loaded.  Thanks!

**Q: Does this bat say asa an single wall ??**
A: Yes it has ASA and single wall on the bat.

**Q: Is this a single piece bat?**
A: No.  It is two-piece.  Aluminum handle with steel barrel.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I love this bat.
  

*by K***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019*

I don't know that it's necessarily for everyone, because others on my team tend to prefer composite bats.  But I get considerably more pop out of this one than I do theirs'.  I play in a USSSA-regulated league with 52 COR balls and I use the 30 oz. bat.  The endload is just enough to be meaningful without it being overpowering or awkward to swing.  It actually feels lighter to me than some endloaded 28 oz. bats from Miken and Worth, for example.  I consistently hit the ball HARD with this bat.  It sounds like a cheap aluminum bat at contact, but it performs at least comparably to a composite bat (and in my particular case, better).

    It's a dinger!
  

*by K***� on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019*

This thing rips. I have 3 other guys on my team always asking to bat with this bad boy. Easy to rip it to the outfield or even over the fence.

    No change, but still great
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019*

I will still say this is the best (legal) bat you may use in a coed league under standard city rules.  Super durable, generous sweet-spot and not overly top-heavy.  Love this bat.
