Every bat used in the 2025 College World Series
Here at Dugout Edge, we love baseball, and we love baseball equipment even more. We painstakingly went through footage of every single regional and super regional game that each of these teams have played to compile this comprehensive list of every single baseball bat that will be used in the 2025 College World Series.
2025 CWS Bat Trends and Sponsorships Overview
The 2025 College World Series is shaping up to be a showcase not just of talent, but of the bat brands dominating college baseball. Louisville Slugger has the strongest presence by far—sponsoring four of the eight teams (Arizona, Arkansas, Louisville, and Murray State) and flooding lineups with their Select PWR, Select PWR Tigershark, Omaha, and Atlas models. Marucci makes a big statement through LSU, who are the first to swing the unreleased 2026 Cat X Reckless. Meanwhile, Oregon State stays loyal to DeMarini, led by steady usage of The Goods line and a few players debuting the new 2026 Exile.
Rawlings and Easton gear appear primarily through UCLA and Coastal Carolina, with standout usage of the Rawlings Icon Pro Preferred. COMBAT MFG is also making noise via Coastal, especially with their new Country Club SPEC-A1 line. While most teams have clear brand sponsors, a few notable players—like Arizona's Mason White or UCLA's Roch Cholowsky—have stuck with older or discontinued bats they've trusted for years, showing that sometimes loyalty beats hype.
Team-by-Team Bat Report

Slugger Spotlight – Steven Milam
Steven "Monster" Milam is the glue of LSU's lineup. The sophomore has had a monster season performance making him LSU's player to watch in this year's 2025 College World Series. During the 2025 college baseball postseason he has been swinging the Marucci Cat X Reckless and has been swinging it well. The Marucci Cat X Reckless made its debut just a few weeks ago and is not yet available to the public, but you'll see a ton of Tigers swinging it this weekend. We wrote an in-depth article about the new lumber: New Marucci Bat 2026: LSU and Miami Debut CAT X Reckless Ahead of College World Series
Louisville Cardinals (ACC)

Sponsored by: Louisville Slugger
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Louisville in 2025:

- 2025 Louisville Slugger Select PWR Tigershark BBCOR
- 2025 Louisville Slugger Omaha BBCOR

- 2025 Louisville Slugger Atlas BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Eddie King Jr.
Eddie King Jr. led the team in avg and was 2nd in homeruns (17) prior to the College World Series. He brings a dangerous combination of speed and pop to the top of the Cardinals' offense. His bat of choice, the Louisville Slugger Select PWR, delivers explosive contact and is built for aggressive hitters who thrive on launch angle and power. The red and black also match the sweet Lousiville unis too.
Oregon State Beavers (Independent)

Sponsored by: DeMarini
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Oregon State in 2025:
- 2026 DeMarini Exile BBCOR (One Piece) (most used)
- 2026 DeMarini The Goods BBCOR (One Piece and Hybrid)
- 2025 DeMarini The Goods One BBCOR
- 2025 DeMarini The Goods BBCOR
- 2024 DeMarini The Goods One BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Aiva Arquette
Aiva Arquette is slated to be a top 10 pick in this year's draft and is a standout hitter for Oregon State in the 2025 College World Series. The Cal Ripken Jr.-like shortstop from Kailua, Hawaii is known for his plate discipline and gap-to-gap power. Aiva Arquette uses the 2025 DeMarini The Goods BBCOR bat (last year's model) for its lightweight feel and quick barrel control.
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (Sun Belt)

Sponsored by: Rawlings (COMBAT MFG and Easton)
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Coastal Carolina in 2025:
- 2025 COMBAT MFG Country Club SPEC-A1 BBCOR (multiple models) (most used)
- 2025 Rawlings Icon Pro Preferred
Slugger Spotlight – Caden Bodine
Caden Bodine, Coastal Carolina’s elite contact hitter, walked two times as often as he struck out this season. The Chanticleers team leader in batting average relies on the 2025 COMBAT MFG Country Club SPEC-A1 Members Only: Go Long version for its balanced swing weight and minimized recoil. Most of the Coastal Carolina team swings a version of this bat that is really the same bat in multiple different color ways with different inscriptions. The "Swing Easy" (light blue), "Go Long" (burgundy) and "Not My First Rodeo" were spotted most often during the regionals and super regionals.
UCLA Bruins (Big Ten)

Sponsored by: Rawlings (Easton)
BBCOR Bat Models Used by UCLA in 2025:
- 2025 Rawlings Clout AI BBCOR (most used)
- 2020 Easton Fuze BBCOR (Discontinued)
- 2025 Rawlings Icon Pro Preferred BBCOR
- 2025 Rawlings Icon BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Roch Cholowsky
Roch Cholowsky may be the best hitter on the west coast. Only a sophomore, some are projecting him as first overall pick in the 2026 draft (you heard it here first). Team leader in almost every offensive category (.367 average, 23 HR, .494 OBP) Cholowsky contributes both at the plate on defense and on the basepaths. Roch Cholowsky may know something the rest of the country doesn't because he's swinging the 2020 Easton Fuze BBCOR, a discontinued model from the Easton Fuze line. Hey if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Our bet is that Roch swang this bad boy in high school and just kept rolling with it.
Arizona Wildcats (Big 12)

Sponsored by: Louisville Slugger
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Arizona in 2025:
- 2025 Louisville Slugger PWR BBCOR (most used)
- 2025 Louisville Slugger PWR Tigershark BBCOR
- 2018 Louisville Slugger Omaha 518
- 2025 Louisville Slugger Omaha BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Mason White
Mason White brings clutch hitting and power to Arizona’s lineup. He leads the Wildcats in avg (.332) and homeruns (19). The Tucson native might be using one of the oldest bats out of any college player. Mason White swings the 2018 Louisville Slugger Omaha 518 one piece alloy bat. This came as a huge shock to Dugout Edge founder and CEO Beau Branton, who swang this bat playing at Stanford in 2018. Between him and Roch of UCLA, these guys are showing that bats are all about preference and not necessarily swinging the latest and greatest models.
Arkansas Razorbacks (SEC)

Sponsored by: Louisville Slugger
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Arkansas in 2025:
- 2025 Louisville Slugger PWR BBCOR (most used)
- 2025 Louisville Slugger Atlas BBCOR
- 2025 Louisville Slugger Select PWR Tigershark BBCOR
- 2022 Louisville Slugger Select PWR BBCOR
- 2026 Warstic Bonesaber Mega BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Wehiwa Aloy
Wehiwa, another projected top 10 pick in this year's draft offers Arkansas both defensive stability and offensive firepower. The maui-native is swinging a bat that is a little different than his teammates. The SEC Player of the year is sponsored by Warstic Bonesaber and it has paid off. This season he has been swinging the 2026 Warstic Bonesaber Mega BBCOR bat. While his brother Kuhio, who also plays for Arkansas, swings the 2025 Lousiville Slugger Atlas BBCOR
Murray State Racers (OVC)

Sponsored by: Louisville Slugger
BBCOR Bat Models Used by Murray State in 2025:
- 2025 Louisville Slugger PWR BBCOR (most used)
- 2023 Louisville Slugger PWR BBCOR
- 2025 DeMarini Voodoo One BBCOR
Slugger Spotlight – Jonathan Hogart
Jonathan Hogart may have the most pop of any leadoff hitter in college baseball. He's tied for the lead in post season homeruns with 6 and has 22 round-trippers on the year. Like pretty much every hitter in the Racer's lineup, Jonathan Hogart swings the 2025 Louisville Slugger PWR BBCOR, the most popular model of bat in this year's 2025 College World Series.
