Dugout’s Top 5 USSSA Baseball Bats Picks for Spring 2024
Easton Hype Fire
Easton has revolutionized the Thermo Composite Technology material used in the construction of the Hype Fire’s barrel. By completely redesigning the barrel, they have expanded the already massive sweet spot, resulting in an even larger hitting area. Now, even on those occasional off-center connections, you can witness the Hype Fire’s remarkable ability to turn outs into hits.
We love the brand-new Opti-Flex handle which is finely tuned for each specific drop weight, resulting in the perfect balance of stiffness and flex that elite travel ball players look for.
Features
- 2 ¾” Barrel
- Two-Piece Composite
- OptiFlex Handle

Rawlings Icon
The Icon offers In/Tense directional carbon composite, which delivers lower compression across the entire barrel of the bat with no break-in required. With this technology, hitters found more power more consistently, and benefited from a buttery smooth feel and complete control of the barrel.
In addition, the Zero-Loss technology means that no power is lost in the two-piece connection joint, which also provides optimal flex and eliminates any sting on mishits. Plus, the Tuned Balance swing weight adapts to any style of hitter to deliver a comfortable, confident cut on any pitch.
The Icon boasts Rawlings’ Tuned Balanced Performance, offering a uniform swing weight that adapts to every batter’s unique style, making it a versatile choice for players of all skill levels. We suggest this bat for players ages 7-12 looking to take their bat to the next level.
