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.

Easton Split BBCOR Baseball Bat (EBB4SPL3)

The Easton Split is the most exciting bat in the 2024 BBCOR bat lineup. Built with a slightly end-loaded swing weight and a highly-responsive alloy barrel, the Easton Split is perfect for any strong, powerful hitter. The composite handle helps to reduce vibrations and new technology from Easton has enabled the alloy barrel walls to become 30% thinner than the market average. While the slightly end-loaded swing might take a little getting used to, when swung with confidence, this is one of the best baseball bats of the year.

Bat Review:
Pros: Easton has updated the hybrid from last year and given it new material and a new look. The new look is way better. The feel is better. The pop is extremely better. And when you get it on the barrel you get the experience of ripping it out of the park.

Cons: Haven't experience any problems.

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.

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

Easton Hype Fire USSSA Baseball Bat

This is a no-doubter. The most popular bat in all of USSSA baseball in 2024 is the Easton Hype Fire. Loaded with seemingly endless performance, the Hype Fire has taken the community by storm this season. The composite barrel offers an east-to-control swing and effortless power. Hitters agree. Coaches agree. Parents agree. We agree. The Easton Hype Fire is setting the standard for bat performance at the USSSA level in 2024. Get ready because you are going to see a lot of these bats on the diamond this summer.

Easton Hype Fire Bat Review:

Pros: I'll rank it up there with the best bat we've ever owned. Awesome pop with every swing.

Cons: No cons yet.

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 2024 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 2024 Easton Encore USSSA baseball bat is arguably one of the best alloy barreled bats in the USSSA game.

Best Easton USA Baseball Bats

Easton ADV 360 Ice USA Baseball Bats

New for the 2024 season, Easton just released an updated version of the ADV 360 for USA Baseball. The Easton ADV 360 Ice offers one of the coolest (no pun intended) designs we have seen this year. But it's more than just a pretty design, the ADV 360 Ice can also pack a punch. Built with a comfortable two-piece composite construction, the Ice delivers a buttery soft feeling across the entire barrel. While you'll certainly want to get ~100 to 150 swings on the barrel before taking it into the game, once broken in the ADV 360 Ice is as good as any USA Bat on the market.

2024 Easton Speed Comp -13 USA Baseball Bat: EUS4SPC13

For hitters that are in search of a lightweight, inexpensive bat for USA baseball, we recommend taking a peek at the 2024 Easton Speed Comp. Built with ultra-lightweight composite materials, this drop-13 USA bat enables top-notch barrel control and quality results with every swing. We recommend the Easton Speed Comp to any little leaguer between the ages of 5 - 8.

Best Easton Fastpitch Softball Bats

From the booming sound on contact to the jaw-dropping distance on home runs, Easton has redefined the way we look at fastpitch bats.

Hitters and parents around the country are clammoring to get this batting gloves on Easton's latest fastpitch release. Boasting a Sonic Comp Max barrel, the Ghost Advanced has the lowest compression outer barrel among any fastpitch bat to date. This directly equates to an ultra-responsive, highly performative, game-changing composite barrel. Hitters love it. Pitchers hate it. If you are looking for Easton's best fastpitch softball bat in 2024, it is the black and red Ghost Advanced.

Easton Ghost Advanced Review

Pros: Great pop right out of the box. Great feel. Great balance. Great bat.

Cons: None at this time.

Easton Ghost Advanced -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat (FP20GHAD11)

Every great thing has an origin story. As for the black and red Easton Ghost Advanced, this was the model that came before it. This drop 11 model is powerful, yet balanced. While there are some concerns with the durability of the barrel, when performing at it's best, there isn't a fastpitch bat that can top it.

Easton Ghost Advanced Review

Pros - “Lightweight, great pop, great bat. Big sweet spot, even the small part of the bat has pop.”

Cons - “Has a little break-in period that ca be done in batting practice a few times, but once it's hot it's hot!!!"

Best Easton Slow Pitch Softball Bats

With each pitch arriving around 20-30 mph, slow pitch softball bats must provide noticeable levels of performance on every swing. Easton slow pitch bats continue to deliver in every measurable way possible. They offer excellent barrel control, fast swing speeds, and durability to outlast the competition. If you are interested in a new slow pitch softball bat, we recommend you take a look at what Easton has to offer.

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.”

Cons - “Just being nitpicky, but it would've been cool for the graphics to look just like the Stealth bats in the mid '00s; those were black.”
