The 2018 USA Baseball bat standard (USABat) administers rules for youth baseball bat performance based on precise, scientific measurement. Similar to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Federation of State High School Sports Associations (NFHS) BBCOR standard, which helped to eliminate discrepancies with different length bats, and thus provide a more direct measure of bat performance, the new USABat standard will allow youth baseball organizations in the United States to reach their goal of establishing a wood-like standard, a standard that will provide for the long-term integrity of the game.Along with Little League Baseball, the following organizations are participating (in alphabetical order): American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball / Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, and PONY Baseball.

Only site that had the bat my kiddo wanted (Victus crayon 31" red) We got our order delivered just a few days after placing it just in time for a big game where half the kids on the team got to use it. Won the game and the power of the crayon prevailed. Thanks!

Went to visit the store with my 7th grade daughter to tryout new catchers gear. Everyone there was very helpful and knowledgeable. There was a great selection to try. I also recently ordered a new glove from the website with the break in service. Delivery was fast and the break in was perfect.
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!
