Next Top Recruits is on a mission to partner with student athletes and their families along the journey to college athletics. With dedicated support and access to Marucci product, Next Top Recruits fulfills their mission of putting athletes in the top position to be recruited.

“Next Top Recruits is the fastest growing softball organization in North Carolina. We are excited about partnering with Marucci as we feel it will take our players to the next level of softball and can’t wait to use Marucci’s equipment!” said Ken Carlyle, Next Top Recruits President.

The Founders’ Club is an elite alliance of some of the nation’s premier amateur baseball and fastpitch programs that share Marucci’s core values. These clubs are selected based on their dedication to excellence on and off the field, reputation as a positive influence in their community, commitment to growing their organization, and in turn, the Marucci mission.

“Next Top Recruits fastpitch resonates with Marucci to the core. Their ‘athlete first’ mentality lays the groundwork for success on and off the field. We’re excited to support their athletes with the tools they need to make it to the next level,” said Allison Parsell, Director of Softball Sales at Marucci.

This multi-year partnership provides the Next Top Recruits with superior product, dedicated support, and first access to innovations from the hottest brands in fastpitch - Marucci, and newly acquired, Lizard Skins.

Marucci’s line of fastpitch gear includes fielding gloves, batting gloves, bags, apparel, protective, and the newly released Echo DMND bat line. Years of athlete data and rigorous testing went into the development of this new bat line that is earning its way onto fastpitch fields across the country.
