Used 2023 Rawlings Icon BBCOR Baseball Bat (RBB3I3)

The 2023 Rawlings Icon (RBB3I3) is the bat that started the revolution. While newer models like the "Glowstick" and "Electric Unicorn" have followed, the original RBB3I3 remains a favorite for hitters who prefer the classic black and gold aesthetic paired with Rawlings' first elite-tier two-piece composite design.

Engineered with In/Tense Carbon Composite, this bat is designed to provide a massive, forgiving sweet spot while maintaining a stiff handle for maximum energy transfer. It is widely considered one of the "hottest" composite BBCOR bats ever produced, offering a balanced swing weight that suits both elite contact hitters and power threats.

High-Performance Technology

• In/Tense Carbon Composite: A seamless carbon construction that maximizes barrel size and performance while maintaining optimal stiffness for a massive trampoline effect.
• Zero Loss Energy Technology: An innovative collar joint that smoothly connects the handle to the barrel, designed to eliminate drag and vibration while maximizing durability.
• Tuned Balanced Performance: An even swing weight that adjusts to each batter's unique style, allowing for lightning-fast bat speed.
• Two-Piece Composite Design: Provides the perfect blend of flex and power, reducing hand sting on mis-hits while delivering a "whippy" feel through the zone.
• RevGrip: A premium, high-tack grip material that provides unmatched cushion and tactile sensitivity.

2nd String Sports Certified Inspection

Buying a used composite bat can be risky, but at 2nd String Sports, we eliminate the gamble. This RBB3I3 has been thoroughly inspected and play-tested. We guarantee:

• No internal rattles (no loose composite shards).
• No structural cracks or seam issues.
• Intact connection joint (Zero Loss collar is firm).
• Compression Tested: We ensure the barrel is still performing within legal limits but is fully "broken-in" for peak performance.

When it comes to baseball and softball bats, we don't just "look" at them—we evaluate them for safety, legality, and performance longevity. Our inspection includes:

• Certification Verification: We ensure every bat meets current league standards (BBCOR, USSSA, USA, or ASA/USA Softball) so you never get turned away at the plate conference.
• Structural Integrity Check: We run a tactile "towel test" along the barrel to feel for dents, flat spots, or "telescoping" in two-piece bats that the naked eye might miss.
• The "Rattle" Test: Every bat is sound-tested. Internal rattling can indicate a failing inner wall or a loose end cap, both of which are immediate grounds for rejection.
• Hardware Inspection: We check that the end cap is factory-sealed and hasn't been tampered with or loosened, and we verify the knob is securely attached for maximum safety.
• Grip Assessment: While grips are replaceable, we ensure the handle is straight and free of structural stress fractures before a bat ever hits our shelf.

Shop with confidence knowing that our used inventory is "2nd String Certified"—field-tested and ready for the first pitch.
