2027 Marucci Asura Rise -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat Ð MFPASR11

Meet the 2027 Marucci ASURA Rise -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat — engineered for the next era of fastpitch power. A dream to swing. A nightmare to pitch. The Rise brings a longer inner barrel for a wider sweet spot and a more forgiving barrel, and the -11 drop is the lightest weighting in the lineup, built to maximize bat speed for contact hitters and players moving up from youth leagues. The new AV™ Knob delivers a smoother feel in your hands and on contact, and every length and weight drop is individually tuned for consistent performance. The result is a bat that feels smoother, swings faster and delivers more consistent performance across the barrel — so you can step into every at-bat ready to rise. Dream higher. Hit farther.

Is the -11 Drop Right for Your Hitter?

Drop weight is bat length in inches minus weight in ounces — the higher the number, the lighter the bat feels relative to its length. At -11, this is the lightest option in the Marucci ASURA Rise lineup, and it's built specifically for:

• Contact hitters who need to maximize bat speed through the zone and get the barrel to the ball as quickly as possible.
• Younger or newer fastpitch players who are still building strength and want a lighter swing weight to develop clean mechanics.
• Players prioritizing plate coverage and timing over raw power, especially in travel ball and rec leagues where bat speed wins at-bats.

If your hitter generates more power from a heavier barrel already, or wants to test a slightly more balanced feel, compare this against the -10 and -9 options in the Marucci Fastpitch Bats collection. Not sure which length fits your player? Check our bat sizing guide before you buy.

Key Specs & Technology

Rise Sync Barrel Technology

Rise up to a smarter, more forgiving barrel. It features an elongated, fully suspended inner barrel that extends the active hitting zone by up to 10%, widening the sweet spot and increasing barrel responsiveness — without sacrificing balance or feel.

AV™ Knob (Anti-Vibration Technology)

Built to Rise above. The AV™ Knob is designed to reduce vibration and kill sting, not feel. Built as one solid system with a soft, elastomeric outer shell, you'll get a smoother feel in your hands and connected feedback without harsh vibration.

PFX Composite Handle & OLS Connection

Your dream swing starts here. The Player-Optimized Flex Composite handle is engineered specifically by weight drop, adjusting flex characteristics to enhance swing speed, power and feel — tuned for the lighter demands of a -11 swing.

Sized for All: 28"–33" Lengths

The -11 spans the widest length range in the lineup, from 28" up through 33", so hitters moving up through the ranks can stay in a -11 as they grow instead of jumping straight to a heavier drop. Unsure which length fits best? Our bat sizing guide walks through how to measure for the right fit.

Tailored Performance Across the Lineup

Each bat length and drop is individually tuned with an optimized inner barrel design, maximizing performance across every hitter in your lineup.
