ATHENS-----The University of Georgia has teamed up with Marucci Sports to be the official bat provider for the baseball and softball programs, it was announced Thursday.
The multi-year deal encompasses bats and selected other products for the Georgia baseball and softball programs. Georgia softball becomes the first program in the SEC to partner with Marucci.
Georgia's Ike Cousins head baseball coach Wes Johnson begins his first season in Athens. He is very familiar with the Baton Rouge-based company that serves an equipment provider for more than 37 Division I programs including 2023 national champion LSU. Johnson, along with Bulldog assistant Josh Simpson, served on the Tigers staff last year.
"We're excited about the commitment by Marucci Sports to become the official bat provider for the University of Georgia," said Johnson. "They have an excellent reputation as one of the industry leaders in products and customer service, and we're looking forward to a great relationship."
Entering his 12th season in Athens and third as the head coach of the Bulldogs in 2024, Tony Baldwin has guided Georgia softball to exceptional heights offensively. Year over year, Georgia ranks toward the top in the SEC and the nation in multiple offensive categories. Under Baldwin's tutelage, Bulldogs have garnered 11 All-America honors with their bats.
"We're really excited for this partnership with Marucci and the great things they are doing for the future of our game," Baldwin said. "We appreciate their support of Georgia Softball and look forward to a great relationship with the organization."
"Marucci Sports is thrilled to become the official bat provider for the University of Georgia baseball and softball programs," said Kurt Ainsworth, CEO of Marucci Sports.
