2020 Rawlings Quatro Pro USA Baseball Bat Review
The hottest USA bat out, the 2020 Rawlings Quatro Pro pairs a double-wall, gapped-wall design with a shockingly massive barrel and a super-light -12 swing. Just be ready for its unique, loud sound.

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).
Our Review
We highly recommend the 2020 Quatro Pro because the performance is just that good, but be aware the sound is unique to say the least. The double-wall, gapped-wall tech lets Rawlings build a shockingly huge barrel, and the two-piece design means zero sting. For $200 more than the Threat you get more barrel and more comfort. I expect it to be the best-selling USA bat of the season.
