The Best USA Baseball Bats of the Year

Knock this season out of the park with our curated list of the year’s best youth baseball bats.

The right baseball bat can give athletes the performance and confidence they need to succeed at the plate. But with so many options to choose from, finding the right stick can seem daunting. A good place to start is with your league’s specific bat standard.

What is a USA Baseball Bat?

For most youth baseball leagues, the USA Baseball bat standard, or USABat, is the governing regulation regarding bat construction. Little League, American Amateur Baseball Congress, Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, PONY Baseball and T-Ball all follow this standard. Bats carrying this seal are designed to perform more like wood bats to help ensure greater equipment consistency throughout rec-league play.

Now that you know which bat standard to look for, it’s time to find your top pick. We’ve constructed a power-hitting lineup of the year’s best kids’ baseball bats. Step into the batter’s box with energy and confidence this season and gear up with help from this Pro Tips guide.
