Scored verdicts — every one names its source
| Reviewer | Published score | What they said, in brief |
|---|---|---|
| Bat Digest Tier A | 85/100 (B) | Bat Digest's Best 10U Fastpitch pick for the -11 (85/100 for both -11 and -10; the -9 carries no Bat Digest score and none is claimed here). Sub-scores for the -11: Performance 90 / Control 100 / Durability 70 / Value 76 — control elite, durability the weak leg |
| GreatBats Tier B | 9.5/10 | GreatBats (Tier B) scores it a full point higher than Bat Digest — the disagreement is displayed, not averaged away |
What the panel is really saying
Now a genuine Panel page — and the two sources disagree by a full point: Bat Digest (Tier A) 8.5, with durability its weak sub-score (70/100); GreatBats (Tier B) 9.5. Easton Ghost durability in cold weather is the long-running parent debate; the Panel average sits between them and both verdicts are linked above.
Players' Score — rated by players, not reviewers
Collecting the first ratings. The Players' Score is the community score: people who own this bat rating it themselves. It publishes only once this bat reaches 10 email-verified ratings — and it is always shown beside the Panel Score, never blended into it. The reviewers' verdict and the players' verdict — side by side, never mixed.
