This is Albert Pujols signature Marucci model. The AP5 has a tapered handle and moderate to large barrel. The bat was originally designed to give him total control at the plate. The tapering provides great balance for a large barreled bat. The AP5 also features a high level of wood density. It is engineered for hitters who are looking for balance and power in their swing.
