What is the quick review?
The 2023 Easton ADV 360 is probably the best-performing USA bat. However, many hesitate about the higher price points, especially when less expensive bats like the Slugger Solo gets good traction at 1/3 the cost. In any case, the 2023 Easton ADV comes in every size, feels great, and has top-end performance, no doubt about it. We are big fans and its bats like this that grace the top of our best USA bats lists year in and year out.
What models and sizes are available?
The two-piece composite Easton ADV 360 has a big barrel and a great feel. We are fans. The bat has been hard to find in stock for many of 2023 as significant vendors appear to have run out of them and can't keep them back in stock. However, at the time of this update, we found them at places like Dicks Sporting Goods and Amazon. If you're serious about USA baseball, this is the bat for you.

How does it compare?
As far as we can tell, the 2023 Easton ADV 360 has no changes other than graphics compared to 2022. However, it is not widely available to the public yet---just for the Little League world series. There might be some minor changes, but the bat did well enough in 2022 that we see little reason for Easton to do any major overhauls. The PowerBoost Knob, connecting piece, and barrel profiles all look similar. The only change in the line is from 2021 to 2022; Easton made the drop 11 more durable--which appears to be solved mainly in the 2022 version.
