DeMarini Bat Testing program

The Northwest Nationals DeMarini Bat Testing Program provides Northwest Nationals athletes with a unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge baseball bat technology while contributing directly to the development of future DeMarini products.

Through our relationship with DeMarini, selected Northwest Nationals athletes will have opportunities to test prototype and developmental bats that are not yet available to the public. Athletes will provide valuable feedback on swing feel, balance, barrel performance, sound, comfort, and overall performance, giving DeMarini real-world insight from competitive players as it evaluates and refines future bat designs.

Bat testing will be incorporated into select Northwest Nationals training sessions and programs, allowing athletes to experience firsthand the research, testing, and innovation that goes into developing high-performance baseball equipment. Beyond gaining early access to emerging technology, athletes will have a voice in the product development process and an opportunity to help influence the next generation of DeMarini bats.

The Northwest Nationals × DeMarini Bat Testing Program represents a shared commitment to innovation, athlete development, and advancing the game through player-driven research and testing. By connecting our athletes with one of baseball's premier equipment brands, Northwest Nationals continues to create developmental opportunities that extend beyond traditional training.
