Our Review
The Icon Fest is a limited-edition graphics run of Rawlings' flagship Icon BBCOR. Mechanically it's the Icon hitters already know: a seamless In/Tense Carbon two-piece composite barrel built for a big, forgiving sweet spot, with the Zero Loss Energy collar connecting the handle to the barrel to keep energy in the ball and vibration out of the hands. What's new is the look — a cream, blue and pink "IconFest" paint job with the "Heroes get remembered, but icons never die" barrel graphic. Like most Rawlings limited editions, it's expected to arrive in a short run and move fast, listed at $449.99. We don't publish a score until we've tested a bat ourselves, so this one is marked coming soon for now — but it shares the proven Icon platform we already rate among the better BBCOR bats.
