2027 DeMarini Mercy Slowpitch Bat Review
A 13" balanced USA/ASA slowpitch bat for the association game. First-pass rating from its balanced profile and the USA/ASA standard.
The Score
How we score ↗How big and forgiving the barrel is — based on barrel length, construction (one- vs two-piece, alloy vs composite), and how it plays on balls hit off the center. A primary driver of the overall score.
Raw exit velocity and distance. We use measured numbers from freely available independent testing when they exist; otherwise construction and consensus, judged against the certification’s performance ceiling. A primary driver of the overall score.
Comfort and feedback on contact — vibration dampening from the knob/connection, the sting of a stiff one-piece vs a smooth two-piece, and the sound off the barrel. A primary driver of the overall score.
How well it holds up and how the company stands behind it — documented cracking/denting reports, cold-weather behavior, and the brand’s real warranty record. Good to know, but weighted lightly in the score.
Our take on price-for-performance — the overall package weighed against its cost and what comparable bats run. Shown for context; it is NOT factored into the overall score (price changes too often and is personal).
Why this score: First-pass rating: scored as a balanced USA/ASA slowpitch bat with power held to the association cap. Per our brand policy we weight durability and value down for DeMarini. We'll confirm with testing.
Our Review
The Mercy is DeMarini's 13" balanced slowpitch bat built for USA Softball (ASA) association play rather than the hotter USSSA standard. The association standard caps barrel performance, so it's tuned for a smooth, controlled swing rather than maximum pop. This is a preliminary first-pass rating from the bat's build, platform and class; we'll firm it up once there's testing to stand on. As with any DeMarini bat, weigh durability and warranty before buying — the brand's record on both trails the field.
