Marucci's ten nearest neighbors by audience shape are dominated not by other sports brands but by spiritual leaders, TV personalities, and a personal finance professional. The scores span a narrow band — 0.9141 at the top down to 0.8822 at position ten — confirming the flat shape: no single neighbor pulls away from the pack.
EvoShield (0.91) and DeMarini (0.90) are the only two neighbors whose subcategories fall within the sports-and-fitness space. The remaining eight are drawn from entirely different kinds: three Spiritual Leaders — Lysa TerKeurst (0.89), Louie Giglio (0.88), and Beth Moore (0.88) — sit alongside TV Personalities Chip Gaines (0.90) and Joanna Gaines (0.89), personal finance professional Dave Ramsey (0.89), softball media outlet FloSoftball (0.89), and comedian John Crist (0.89). The subcategory mix — spiritual leaders, home-and-lifestyle TV personalities, and faith-adjacent media — recurs consistently enough to define the cluster's character, even though none of these entities are sports brands.
The flat, cross-kind shape suggests Marucci's audience is held together by a shared cultural identity rather than a shared interest in any single content category.
