Description

Easton Hype Comp -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: SL23HC8

Step up to the plate and be great with the Easton Hype Comp drop 8!

Bat Benefits

The Easton Hype Comp is a two-piece, all-composite USSSA Certified bat jam-packed with state-of-the-art technology so you can excel at the plate!

The Hype Comp will be the lightest swinging in Easton's lineup, but don't let that fool you.  It will feature a massive barrel constructed with Thermo Composite Technology (TCT) that delivers a large sweet spot and explosive power.  Joined together by Easton's ConneXion Max connection point, the TCT works in conjunction with the Pro-Stiff Carbon Handle to offer game-altering performance.

A Power Boost "Soft Knob" is applied to the handle to provide hitters more leverage and to assist with vibration.  Lastly, Easton's Flow-Tack Grip provides the Hype Comp with great cushion and a first-class feel!

Warranty

Easton has been creating top-quality bats for many years now. And the reason that they have been able to build such a loyal following among players is that Easton has pledged to take care of their customers. Because of that pledge, they will extend a full twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty on this bat. Therefore, if you get the bat from us and run into an issue with it before a full year has passed from the purchase date, please let our Bat Experts know. They will get you the information needed to contact Easton and begin the warranty replacement process.

Hot Out of the Wrapper Sergio Parent

Pros: This bat has been great for my 11y/o son. His confidence is through the roof with the way he’s been hitting with this bat. I moved him up to a 31” -8 & he didn’t skip a beat. Out of the wrapper he was hitting balls in BP about 220ft. Now that we’ve had this bat for over a month now he’s hitting balls OVER 250ft. It’s insane how much pop this bat has. Easton is definitely doing something right!

Cons: It’s so hard to think of one but I can see it being a bit top heavy for some kids. But it works for my son’s swing.

Awesome bat Justin P Parent

Pros: 11 y/o son with avg build loves this bat. Got his 1st OTF HR (CF 250’ w/ 10’ fence) with this bat. Has a 30/22. A lot of pop out the wrapper and only gets better. 1st Easton bat for him in a long time, and now his favorite brand like my daughter and her Ghost.

Cons: None. Son loves the balance and feel of it.

Black and Yellow Nathan Troyer Coach

Pros: The color is cool, the feel is great, the pop is awesome, and nobody has been complaining about the "sting". I bought this bat for my son (12U) and he loves it. He has let a few of his buddies swing it as well and the general consensus is that is will be a "Dinger and Double Machine".

Cons: It's still new and we have not used it in the cage off the machine that much. That will give me a better idea on the durability aspect.

New Bat Jason Kersten Parent

Pros: Good pop and balance. Still new but out of the package it has good exit velocity, will be nice to see it in action once it gets broke in.

Cons: Great price, feel, balance.

Best two peace composite for the money Roger Parent

Pros: Better than our Zoa and better than any metal. The price is great. We had an early version of this bat and it was just as good as the most recent one. You can not go wrong for the price and you don't need that much break in.

Cons: None

What is the difference between the Hype Comp and the Hype Fire Mark
The biggest difference between the 2023 Easton Hype Comp -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: SL23HC8 and the 2024 Easton Hype Fire -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: EUT4HYP8 is going to be the different handles. The 2023 Hype comp uses a Pro-Stiff Carbon Handle compared to the Opti-Flex Handle on the Hype Fire.
