DeMarini 2019 Sabotage (-12) 2 3/8

Ray DeMarini was one-of-a-kind. At the age of 40, playing on his company softball team quickly turned into a full-blown obsession with the sport. His scientific approach to training, a 96 mph batting speed and a bombastic attitude quickly earned him the reputation of a savage competitor among the biggest guys in his league. Ray turned his attention to creating an earth-shattering high-performance bat. The top bat manufacturers werent innovating. I realised there was a great opportunity to create a technical bat for the sophisticated ball player. Ray was the personification of insane dedication. Even after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 1998, Ray kept working. When the cancer eventually claimed his eye, he was still out at the field-hitting in an eyepatch. Rays intensity and drive remains at the core of the company today.
