The scores for the Wrath are lower than many other bats because the individual scores were so wildly divergent. This bat was hit by a number of different groups – high school teams, travel teams, coaches and kids. And what was true of eachf of those groups is there were hitters who loved it and who hated it.
It is balanced and has a short barrel – a rare combination. It has decent pop, but lacks the end weighting to be a true power-hitter’s bat. You can take the ball 250 feet, but you need to generate the power yourself – there is help from the Active Flex taper, but none from weighting. Power hitters gravitate to this bat for a couple of reasons. The handle is thin; as part of the Active Flex taper it is designed to add whip, but that is also the preferred power hitter’s shape. The barrel is short; the FWC pipe allows for a large sweet spot even though the barrel is 11”, but the short barrel has always been favored by home run hitters and has been almost extinct since the invention of the composite bat. And it is end loaded; the load helps speed the bat through the hitting zone and also helps move the sweet spot toward the end of the barrel, but it helps pull hitters and power hitters perform more consistently that balanced bats.
