Our 2022 Easton Hype -8 composite baseball bats are Easton's latest flagship model for USSSA. Back to an old school design, the Hypes are very similar to the 2 3/4 USSSA Easton's from a few years ago such as the Ghost, Beast, XL1 and S1s. These bats wake up considerably when shaved and have a stiffer feel than the Ghost X and ADV models which is much improved. Overall, the Easton ADV Hype -8 baseball bat is a very solid bat that hits great and sounds good to. Recommended shave spec is level 1 with the polymer coating!
