Best Easton Bats

Over 100 years ago in 1922, James Easton began making wooden bows and arrows in his garage. Fast forward to today, and Easton bats are among the most popular in the world. Popular models like the Easton Hype Comp, Easton Ghost, Easton Stealth, and many others are all available at JustBats. To provide a summary of this list, we're going to start with Easton baseball bats. Then we'll get into Easton fastpitch bats followed by Easton slow pitch bats. Last, but certainly not least, we're going to outline our favorite exclusive Easton bats that you can only find at JustBats. Let's dive in.

Best Easton BBCOR Bats

Looking for the best BBCOR baseball bats? Easton is loaded with both alloy and composite BBCOR bats for your next season. To help you pick out your favorite(s) we’ve taken the time to list a few of the most popular BBCOR bats from Easton below.

2023 Easton Hype Comp BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB23HC)

The Easton Hype Comp is the most exciting bat in the 2023 BBCOR bat lineup. Built with a lightning-fast (balanced) swing weight and a highly-responsive composite profile, the Easton Hype Comp is perfect for any style of hitter. We do recommend hitting ~100-150 balls with it before you break it out for game action. But apart from that, this is one of the best baseball bats of the year.

2023 Easton Encore Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB23EN)

Get the best of both worlds with Easton’s top hybrid BBCOR baseball bat. Loaded with seemingly endless power, the Easton Encore delivers a hot-out-of-the-wrapper alloy barrel alongside a smooth-swinging composite handle. This combination allows hitters to maximize their power potential without sacrificing swing comfort. If you are interested in swinging the new Encore from Easton, we encourage you to try it out with our 30-day Bat Assurance Program now.

Best Easton Youth Baseball Bats

Shopping for young ball players can be a challenge. To help alleviate some of the struggles, we have tasked our team of Bat Experts to help list a couple of the hottest Easton youth baseball bats on the market. Keep in mind, we have only chosen the most popular youth baseball bats for this list. If you are looking for more options, we have a full selection of Easton youth bats at JustBats.

Best Easton USSSA Baseball Bats

2023 Easton Alpha ALX -10 USSSA Baseball Bat (SL23AL10)

Not interested in breaking in your next youth bat? The Easton Alpha ALX is the top alloy USSSA baseball bat from Easton in 2023. Hitters have already started to provide us with feedback regarding this one-piece aluminum bat. It offers hitters an easy-to-swing balanced swing weight alongside an ultra-durable barrel profile to navigate through the rigors of a baseball season. In summation, the 2023 Easton Alpha ALX is one of the best USSSA baseball bats that money can buy.

2023 Easton Encore Hybrid -5 USSSA Baseball Bat (SL23EN58)

As hitters get older and stronger they tend to gravitate towards alloy baseball bats. This is because the stiffness of alloy barrels allows for their strength to transfer through the baseball with each swing. The more strength applied to the ball, the more power you’ll see on contact. That’s why we see so many hitters choosing to swing the Easton Encore as they start swinging drop-5s in preparation for BBCOR bats in high school.

The 2023 Easton Encore delivers both an alloy barrel and a composite handle (which helps reduce vibrations) to offer hitters a comfortable, yet powerful combination. Plus, considering it sports the ultra-hot USSSA stamp of approval, the 2023 Easton Encore USSSA baseball bat is arguably the hottest baseball bat on the planet.

Easton Ghost Tie Dye Review

Pros - “Hot right out of the wrapper, the feel before, during, and after contact is awesome.”

Easton Stealth Review

Pros - “I definitely prefer the Zero Strain 1431 Handle. Haven't felt any vibration at all! – Feels like there some real pop in the bat, but I'm still breaking it in. Been making pretty hard contact so far though.”
