What The Columns Mean
Score: Overall 0–100 based on our 4-category model.
Drop: Length minus weight (e.g., 31/21 = -10).
Price: Typical new price; links to a retailer.
Image: Clickable product image; rotates retailers.
MOI: Swing weight 1–5 (1 = light, 5 = heavy). Lower feels quicker; higher feels end‑loaded.
Barrel: Barrel/profile size 1–5 (1 = smaller, 5 = larger sweet spot).
Stiffness: Handle/impact stiffness 1–5 (1 = more flex, 5 = stiffer feel).
Player: Player feedback 1–5 from testing and long‑term use.
Tech: Construction/feature sophistication 1–5.
Demand: Market demand 1–5 (availability/interest).
Relevance: Lineup relevance/size availability 1–5.
Resell: Secondary market value retention 1–5.
Perf (1–5): Performance composite (exit velo, sweet spot, tech).
Control (1–5): Handling composite (swing weight, stiffness, feedback).
Durability (1–5): Longevity/build quality composite.
Value (1–5): Price/performance considering league norms and resell.
Notes: Metrics use Bat Digest’s 1–5 internal scale. MOI is measured; others combine lab data and testing.
Our Testing Methodology
Data-driven analysis from the industry's most comprehensive testing facility
HitTrax Technology
Professional-grade launch monitor tracking exit velocity, launch angle, distance, and spray charts. Every swing is captured with MLB-level precision for accurate performance metrics.
Precision Swing Weight
Custom-built MOI measurement rig calculates exact swing weight to 0.1% accuracy. We measure balance point, total weight, and rotational inertia for complete swing feel analysis.
Ball Cannon Testing
Pneumatic cannon fires balls at precise velocities to measure trampoline effect and sweet spot size. Eliminates human variables for consistent, repeatable performance data.
Compression Testing
Industrial compression tester measures barrel flex and wall thickness across the entire hitting surface. Identifies hot spots and durability characteristics before field testing.
Multi-Hitter Protocol
Minimum 5 different swing profiles test each bat - from youth to college players. Over 1,000 swings per bat ensures statistically significant performance data.
10-Year Database
Over 50,000 recorded swings and 2,000+ bats tested since 2015. Historical data enables trend analysis, durability tracking, and performance evolution insights.
