Best USA Softball Slow Pitch Bats For 2024

When shopping for your next USA Softball slow pitch bat you want to get the most out of your purchase. Hitters often call or message us asking about the hottest bats in slow pitch. And while production can vary from hitter to hitter, we have compiled a list of our picks for the top slow pitch bats to swing in 2024. 

Easton Stealth 12" Mother Load Dual Stamp Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SPS12X)

You may remember the best baseball bat ever, the Easton Stealth Comp (Orange & Blue). This slow pitch remake stays true to the original by producing jaw-dropping results with effortless swings. This multi-piece composite slow pitch bat incorporates a “Motherload” swing weight - full-ounce end-load. The purpose of the Easton Stealth is to hit softballs as hard as possible. Some may end up in gloves, but others, others are going to test the dimensions of any softball field in the world. The Easton Stealth Motherload is one of the hottest USA softball bats you can swing in 2024.

Easton Stealth Motherload Bat Review

“PROS: All-around good feel. Nice pop after a couple swings. Full ounce end load feels great.

CONS: Long break-in required.”

Worth Krecher 13.5" XL USA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (WSA3KRL)

Fielders on the hot corner absolutely hate seeing this bat step into the box. Loaded with blistering exit velocities, the Worth Krecher XL can turn any hitter into a run producer. Worth has spent the past couple of decades perfecting its craft in the art of slow pitch softball bats. The Quad Comp Tech gives hitters the perfect amount of hand-to-barrel flex while creating a hard-to-miss sweet spot. Hitters continue to rave about the fully composite barrel, and the intentionally smaller knob enables players to hang a pinky off the end without comprising any level of comfort. 

Simply put, if you need a USA Softball-approved slow pitch bat for your team this year, you need to look at the Worth Krecher XL from JustBats.

Miken Psycho 13" SuperMax Dual Stamp Slow Pitch Softball Bat (MP13X1)

The final bat on our list offers hitters something different than the typical softball bat. The Miken Psycho SuperMax is a dual-stamped slow pitch eligible for use in both USA/ASA and USSSA softball. It features a unique one-piece composite design that will provide comfort alongside power. This fully end-loaded slow pitch is exclusive to JustBats so when we run out of stock, you won’t be able to find this bat anywhere else. Hitters that play in multiple leagues and want a hot slow pitch bat should definitely be in the market for the Miken Psycho SuperMax.

Miken Psycho SuperMax Bat Review

“PROS: Nice pop. Great weight on bat. Delivers good power on contact. 

CONS: The grip on the bat isn’t great. I will need to re-grip to a lizard skin.”

Best USA Softball Fastpitch Bats for 2024

Fastpitch players are some of the toughest athletes in the world, and they need equipment they can rely on. To help narrow down the selections, we have picked out our three most reliable fastpitch bats for 2024. We have included bat reviews of the following bats, along with a brief breakdown of what you can expect from each of these softball bats.

Rawlings Mantra 2.0 -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat (RFP3M10)

What if we told you that you could swing the same fastpitch bat as the reigning NCAA National Champions? That’s right. The Oklahoma Sooners, led by the all-time NCAA HR record holder (122) Jocelyn Alo, went back-to-back swinging Rawlings’ top fastpitch bat. The Mantra is a blend of easy-to-swing balance and light tower power. Hitters of all ages and sizes will maximize their swings any time they pick up the Mantra 2.0 or the Rawlings Mantra Plus.

Rawlings Mantra 2.0 Bat Review

“PROS: This bat is hot out the plastic. It feels great and looks even better. My daughter has both models and loves each of them. Hit her first home run with the mantra. It was a 235 foot shot and she’s only 16!

CONS: Nothing bad about the Mantra”

Easton Ghost Unlimited -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat (FP23GHUL10)

There isn’t a more eye-catching barrel in all of fastpitch. But don’t let the pretty looks fool you, the 2024 Easton Ghost Unlimited fastpitch softball bat is a monster. Toting the highly-responsive double barrel design hitters have come to know and love, the Ghost delivers results nearly straight from the wrapper. What we love about the new Ghost is the stiffer feel on contact. The balanced swing weight allows hitters 1-9 in the lineup to utilize it, cementing the 2024 Easton Ghost as one of the most appealing fastpitch softball bats in 2024.

Easton Ghost Unlimited Bat Review

“PROS: Great feel, great pop. Daughter really likes it!

CONS: Only been swinging it for two weeks..”

DeMarini Prism+ -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat (WBD2362010)

The DeMarini Prism+ has been approved for all levels of fastpitch softball and is an ultra-controllable bat. One of the first things hitters will notice about the Prism+ is the springy feel on contact. The Gapped Wall Technology incorporates a low-compression outer wall with an even lower-compression inner wall to provide softball players with a progressive spring with each swing. The Prism+ is a balanced bat and is really easily controlled throughout the zone. This will enable hitters to cover the entire plate and even foul off those pesky borderline pitches with two strikes. While any hitter can certainly swing the Prism+, we love the idea of a speed/contact hitter taking full advantage of this light-swinging fastpitch bat.

DeMarini Prism+ Bat Review

“PROS: That it’s amazing!! Got tons of pop! My daughters (10u) hitting coach was loving the new bat. Was talking about how hot it was.

CONS: No cons that I can see yet.”

What is ASA Softball?

ASA (Amateur Softball Association) Softball has been a governing organization since 1933. It originally served to stabilize the rules of the sport and has since evolved into one of the most important associations in all of softball. Recently, ASA Softball rebranded to become USA Softball. However, there has been no major impact on players or bat manufacturers from the rebranding. Currently, ASA/USA Softball oversees over 250,000 teams and nearly 4 million registered athletes.
