What the panel is really saying

The budget door into USA slowpitch on this page — half the flagship price. Note on sources: Bat Digest lists a Vicious too, but as a 2024 model at $200, so we do NOT pair the two sources or average across model years. This score is NPM's 2026 listing only.

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.

Durability (5 = most)Power / pop (5 = most)Feel / control (5 = most)

Who's rating? * Your review, in your own words (optional) Name or initials shown with your review (optional) Your email *

One rating per email per bat, tallied in checked batches — stuffing gets caught before anything publishes. Your email is never displayed. Durability is the category players know best and reviewers test least: if your bat cracked, say so.
