What is the quick review?

The 2022 Stinger Missile 2 is a single-piece alloy bat with a big barrel and a heavier swing. We really only like this bat for advanced hitters who can find the barrel often and those who like a stiff feel on a bat with more load.

What models and sizes are available?

This bat got a lot of press during its heyday but has fallen off the map over the last few months. We think most media was unjustified, and the bat didn't blow away any of our hitters. It felt heavier than the bats it competed against, and most players didn't like how it felt on mishits. That said, we think bigger hitters with big-time swing speed could find the bat useful as it does pack a punch.

How is it built?

The 2022 Stinger Missile is a single piece bat with a smaller barrel and a heavier swing.

How does it compare?

The 2022 and 2021 Stinger Missile bats are pretty similar. Both are single-piece alloy bats with smaller barrels that swing heavier. There may be some changes in the grip, but other than that its about the same as it was, except that this came with a bunch of hype.
