"We are excited about this partnership with Marucci for the continued growth of our baseball program," Coach David said. "The Marucci brand is one of if not THE standard bearer for the sport of baseball and continues to expand more and more with that standard. It's a great opportunity to make sure our players are set up with the best baseball gear and equipment to give us the greatest advantage we can as we train and compete.

The Bulldogs will continue to partner with Nike for their apparel needs.

Fast forward to today, that dedication to quality and understanding of players' needs has turned Marucci into an All-American success story. Today, Marucci is the Number One bat in Major League Baseball.
