StringKing took the same premium alloy used in their Metal Pro BBCOR and overhauled the manufacturing process to create a better baseball bat in every way. Design, materials, and manufacturing work together to deliver elite performance.
Features:
The Metal 2's BBCOR rating has a rating of between .494 and .499 -- literally as much pop as the rules allow
Features an extended barrel and upgraded taper; the longer barrel gives it more surface area to make contact with the baseball
Smart design -- variable wall thickness at the sweet spot helps you get the most power and durability out of your bat, and a slightly longer barrel to give you the best chance to make contact
Comfortable grip
1-year manufacturer's warranty
StringKing Metal 2 2-5/8" BBCOR Bat 5538 -3oz (2022)
The BBCOR formula provides a better measure of the bat's performance and therefore allows the rules committee and bat testing laboratories to better predict field performance based on lab tests. The goal is that non-wood bats that meet this new standard will perform similarly to wood bats. All BBCOR bats will incorporate a logo mark once certification approval is granted. This mark will be consistent across every approved bat design so umpires will easily identify approved bats.

This was my first experience with Closeout Bats and it couldn't have been better. Roy was so great and reached out in advance with a potential issue as well as a resolution, before the bat even shipped! I will look at Closeout Bats first from now on before buying elsewhere for my Travel Baller, even though we are in CA and he's in NJ. Hand's down, you don't get service like this anywhere else!

Bought my son a new bat for Little League. The one he wanted was out of stock nearly everywhere but I found one on CloseoutBats. Shipped within a day or so and I received it a few days later. Bat was brand new in the wrapper, no dents, no scratches. Great experience and would keep them in mind again in the future.

Roy helped me when my package was not tracking on a new glove. Took the time to look into the matter and follow up with me. Who does that? Nobody, top notch customer service!

Ordered on a Friday was delivered next day with no issues. Great experience
At Closeout Bats we stock what we sell! We have a huge warehouse and are NOT drop shipping bats like many web sites. We update inventory and availability on the Web site several times a day as inventory positions change shipping hundreds and hundeds of bats. We also sell bats out of our physical store, so sometimes things sell out before we can get them off the Web site.
Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!
