Description

Although a drop 11, the Easton ADV 360 Drop swings as heavy as most drop 10s and we consider it as much. The bat has a huge barrel, good balance and great performance. The feel on it is just what most kids want. If the bat had more durability it would be a perfect 10.

The 2025 Hype Fire USA (-10) is a two-piece composite bat built for elite performance. It features Easton's Thermo Composite barrel, giving it a massive sweet spot and impressive pop—especially for a USA bat. With a balanced swing weight and Easton’s Power Boost soft knob, it’s designed for comfort, bat speed, and power. Early reviews call it “hot” out of the wrapper, making it a top choice for serious youth hitters.

The 2023 Select PWR in the USA drop 5 is a hybrid bat with a mid to lighter swing built with all the new gadgets found on the BBCOR version of the bat except the connection piece, which is the same found in Meta. We think those in the drop ten space will prefer a two-piece composite, which this bat is not. But, if you want a hybrid bat that swings a bit heavier than most two-piece composites, this is as good a bet as any.

But, all other features, including the barrel material, handle material, and Power Boost knob, are the same. The grip, though, is not a Lizard skin but a custom Easton. The bat comes in a 30 through 32-inch.

The Two-Piece Hybrid Baseball Bat, featuring a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter has a mid loaded swing. This bat combines an alloy barrel with a composite handle and carries the USA Bat Certification Stamp and is approved for play. With an X14 Alloy Barrel, Paraflex Plus Composite Handle and Type V Connection (all the exact same for this year when compared to 2022). The bat is good for a hybrid. USA offers a pretty boring set of bats, but The Goods in USA can be a top choice for the right kid.

Description

Although a bit on the heavier side for a drop 11, it swings right in line with other drop 10 bats in the USA space. So, if you consider this drop 11 as a drop 10, it is, as far as we measured, one of the very best bats in the industry. The Easton ADV 360 Drop 11 USA bat is a huge barrel, balanced swing, and knockout performance. It reminds us a lot of the Orange Easton MAKO as any USA bat to date ever has.

Description

The 2023 Select PWR in the USA drop 8 is a hybrid bat with a mid to lighter swing built with all the new gadgets found on the BBCOR version of the bat except the connection piece, which is the same found in Meta. We think those in the drop ten space will prefer a two-piece composite, which this bat is not. But, if you want a hybrid bat that swings a bit heavier than most two-piece composites, this is as good a bet as any.

The 2019 Louisivlle Slugger SOLO is a reprint of the 2018 version and there is nothing wrong with that. The bat is a single-piece aluminum stick with an extended composite end cap to help bring down the swing weight. Despite it's classification as a drop 11, the bat swings as heavy as many drop 10's and, if you remember, this 2nd year of the USA bat standard put bats all over the place.

The 2018 Easton Beast X Hybrid is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and aluminum barrel. The bat has an end load that makes it feel like a drop 8, but for the first year of USA bats the range of swing weights was expected to be big---and this definitely falls on the heavier side of things.

This drop 8 version is made for the stronger kid who can wield its power and likes a bit of a load on their single piece bat in USA ball, which, we think, can't be that many people. But, if you want a mild endload in a single piece alloy bat then this is it--espeically if want to try or prefer the handle on an Axe Bat.

The Solo in USA drop 10 for 2022 is a legit bat with a good-sized barrel that has been a fan favorite since USA's inception in 2018. The bat is light, has a less unreasonable price point, and comes in a huge swath of sizes to fit just about player. Performance-wise it does really well and clearly meets the USA standard. We don't think anyone will be writing home to grandma about the SOLO in USA for 2022 (it hasn't changed from 2021), but we do think you'll get a quality bat for reasonable price that will last and work well.

Description

The 2019 is DeMarini's second Voodoo One USA Bat. It takes after its other model lines in that it's a single piece aluminum with a balanced swing and a moderate to small-sized barrel. For its price, it is a great entry-level USA bat for the hitter who needs as much bat speed as possible and doesn't see the pitch speeds that might hurt hands if mishit. There are no changes from the 2018 version to this 2019 Voodoo One in USA.

Some consider this a 2021 bat, and it might be, but we put it in the 2020 category as it is a compliment to the 2020 USA CAT that is a single piece version of this bat. In any case, the bat is a two piece bat with a small barrel and a great feel. If you can find the barrel you'll hit it hard.

Description

The 2022 Louisville Slugger Prime in USA is a drop 10 with a good barrel profile and middle-of-the-road swing weight. Overshadowed by more popular bats like the ADV, the Slugger Prime is an under-the-radar pick that gets great feedback, hits the ball hard and has a really good feel on both hits and mishits. Made for the kid who plays a lot of baseballs we think it is an underrated pick in the 2022 USA space. (And we also think its graphics are the best of the year).

Description

DeMarini's 2021 CF Drop 10 in USA is a light swinging two-piece composite bat built with the USSSA versions in mind. It swings light and doesn't appear to have the same durability issues as the USSSA versions. The flex feel is the exact same in this USA version as it is in its other lines. However, the barrel is much shorter and the more restrictive standard is immediately noticable. The USA CF is a fine bat, but it is far from a must swing like the USSSA versions. There are no changes between the 2021 and 2020 USA CF bats.

The 2022 Marucci CAT USA is a new bat for the 2022 lineup---that is, it isn't a repaint of the previous years USA Bat. This new version has a 2 5/8 barrel (the last had a 2 1/2) with an upgraded alloy and look. It still uses the anti-vibration knob, is a one piece alloy bat and a balanced swing. We think the bat will work well for that serious entry level player looking for a stiff feel and a light swing on a well known and made bat.

The Omaha in USA for 2022 is an entry-level performance bat made for the hitter who wants a bigger barrel on a single-piece alloy. Although this bat might not feel as good as more expensive bats when poor contact is made, the bat can hit the ball just as far as anything else in the USA standard. The swing weight is balanced and the sizes from 27 through 32-inch should fit most players. The USA Omaha isn't anything to get too excited about, but it will hit the ball hard when squared up and, at a reasonable price, it's a value buy through and through.

The drop 10 USA The Goods One from Demarin isn't anything to get too excited about. However, it will fit a large number of hitters and meet the maximum standard on well hit balls. The barrel profile isn't big, and the stiffness can hurt the hands on mishit balls. But, the price is more reasonable and the serious rec player could find a lot of success with this light swinging single piece alloy from DeMarini's 2022 lineup.

As well, those looking for a hybrid bat in the USA space to compete with a bat-like Slugger's Select have a worthy choice in the 2022 DeMarini The Goods USA Drop 10.

Description

The drop 10 USA Louisville Slugger Atlas is a single-piece bat with a 'new' barrel that uses variable wall thickness (like the Solo series from Slugger in years past, but different). It is a 2 5/8 barrel. It also has a newly designed end cap, the same as the end cap in the USSSA drop 5 barrel. This is a basic bat that, we think, might replace the highly rated 6 Series (SOLO) bat from Slugger in years past. (Although that was a drop11, this is a drop 12).

The Louisville Slugger Atlas USA (-12) is a one-piece alloy bat featuring a 2 5/8-inch barrel. Designed for a uber light swing, it offers a reasonable feel suitable for young players who don't have a budget. Generally, this bat is too expensive for a drop 12, but to each his own.

Description

The Axe Elite One drop 8 USA bat is a single-piece alloy with a lighter swing (for its class) and a decent sized barrel. The ax handle is what makes it unique. Those looking for a stiff bat with the ax shaped handle with a moderately weighted drop 8 USA certification could really like this bat. It isn't terribly exciting, but hitters who can square it up will have success.

Description

The 2020 Axe Elite One USA is a drop 10 single piece alloy bat with a good-sized barrel and a light swing. The smaller sizes (26 and 27) are 2.5-inch barrels---not the standard 2 5/8 barrel. However, those 25 and 26-inch versions of the 2020 Elite One USA are our favorites within the group. They are almost perfect for the coach pitch market. Very young kids, just new into the baseball world, will like the ax handle, good sound, and very light swing of those shorter sizes. The 27 through 30 inches are fine, but we like the drop 8 versions of the bat better in those sizes (if one can swing it).

Description

The 2020 Axe Elite One is a single-piece drop 8 alloy bat built with a stiff feel and an ax shaped handle. It is for stronger hitting kids who like a less flexible bat, a slight end-load, and an ax-shaped handle. As well, players who like this bat don't care as much about hand sting and massive barrel proviles. We like this version of the bat better than the drop 10 as we feel like the added mass makes contact feel better on mishits and gives it some added mass behind the ball.

2018 was the first year of USA bats and this is DeMarini's first run on the single-piece Voodoo One. It's a very small barrel profile on a single piece alloy bat. This bat didn't get fantastic ratings as few players liked the small sweet spot and wring on the mishits. However, those looking for an entry-level USA bat at a great price with a good company might find a lot of success with the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo One USA Drop 10 bat.

The 2020 DeMarini Voood One in USA is a drop 10, 2 5/8 diameter barreled bat with a balanced swing and decent sized barrel. It didn't change much from the 2019 version other than a new end cap. But, we don't think the X14 alloy was adjusted enough from last year to make it perform better in terms of performance. It works well for the smaller player looking for lots of bat speed but doesn't see the pitch speed that will really ring the hands. It's a great value buy if you can find it for the right price.

Description

The 2021 DeMarini Voodoo One USA Bat is new to DeMarini. DeMarini bailed on the USSSA model line in favor of The Goods One Piece. But, for USA, they have this single-piece aluminum bat with a focus on a light swing and a more reasonable price point.

Description

The StringKing Metal in USA is an entry-level single piece aluminum bat with a bit of an end-load. In terms of overall value, it really cannot be beaten. It performs well, feels good, and has a decent-sized barrel profile for a single piece alloy USA bat. We love the price, performance, and value of this bat. Our hitters like the feel and barrel profile.

Description

The 5150 in a drop 5 for 2021 has a decent sized barrel and a good balance for the drop 5 class. We like this USA version of the bat better than any other. Kids who can get a drop 5 around and like the stiff feel of a single piece aluminum bat will do really well. As well, at under $100, we think the drop 5 5150 for 2021 is a great practice and cold-weather bat. It can also serve as an ultra-durable cage work bat that will last a life time and give good strength training opportunities for younger hitters.

Rawlings 2019 single piece composite with a ultra light swing in a drop 12 is the Threat. The bat gets great ratings on its durability and value buy but does lack the kind of power upper level travel type players wish they had. But, younger ones just getting started that want a reasonable bat will be right at home.

Description

The StringKing Metal Pro is a slightly endloaded single piece alloy bat in the USSSA space. The real win here is the value of the bat---which costs several factors lower than bats it can compete just fine with. The good barrel profile, decent balanced (a bit of an end-load---but not very much) and the single-piece design performs well. Our hitters liked the feel, barrel size, and dad's liked the price point.

The drop 10 Rawlings 5150 for 2021 is an entry-level bat with a good brand name, lots of durabilities, and a balanced swing. It comes in a 27 through 31 inch and swings heavier than the drop 11. We consider this an entry-level bat that will leave a lot to be desired from the elite and serious youth player. However, those looking for a decent to the good entry-level rec player in the 9 through 11-year-old space should be happy with this one.

Description

The new 2023 Rawlings 5150 USA baseball bat is a drop 11 and all but a repaint from the 2021 version. It's crafted from aerospace-grade RED alloy, with power and durability (reading: it swings heavy and is made from alloy. It also uses variable wall barrel tech to help increase the barrel size, but it still isn't big. It offers an expansive sweet spot and an end loaded feel.

Description

The drop 11 Rawlings 5150 for 2021 is an entry-level bat with a good brand name, lots of durabilities, and a balanced swing. It comes in a 26 through 31 inch and uses a lighter end cap to help bring down the swing weight. We consider this an entry-level bat that will leave a lot to be desired from the elite and serious youth player. However, those looking for a decent to good entry-level rec type bat should be happy with this one.

Description

The Rawlings Impact Youth USA Bat is a drop 9 single-piece alloy bat with a decent-sized barrel but a heavier swing weight. Usually, for players that need a bat in this size and quality, we recommend drop 10 like the Raptor from Rawlings, not the Impact. However, those that can swing the Impact will like the added mass because the ball will not go farther but won't hurt as much as mishits.

Our Testing Methodology

Comprehensive bat analysis in our 1,800 sq ft testing facility

Exit Velocity Testing

We measure exit speeds across multiple hitter profiles using industry-standard radar equipment. Each bat is tested with consistent swing mechanics to ensure accurate, comparable data across our entire database.

Swing Weight Analysis

Using professional-grade MOI (Moment of Inertia) measurement equipment, we precisely calculate each bat's swing weight. This data directly influences our control and swing feel ratings.

Ball Cannon Testing

Our precision ball cannon measures coefficient of restitution (bounce) and sweet spot performance. This controlled testing eliminates human variables and provides consistent impact data.

Data Tracking

Every measurement is logged in our comprehensive database, allowing us to track performance trends, compare models across years, and identify the best-performing bats in each category.

Multi-Hitter Analysis

We test each bat with multiple hitter types - from contact hitters to power swingers - ensuring our recommendations work for different player profiles and swing styles.

10 Years of Experience

Since 2015, we've tested thousands of bats in our facility. This decade of data gives us unique insights into performance trends, durability, and long-term value.
