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.

Bought my first glove as an adult after using the same glove for the last 20+ years. While the glove, communication from Closeoutbats, and shipping speed were all great - the break in that was done on the glove was the star of the show. I know how stiff an A2K glove is from the factory, and I was immediately able to squeeze the glove and use it to have a catch with my son right out of the box. Will continue to buy every glove my family needs from Closeoutbats in...

Roy was awesome. He got back to me with my request right away. He resolved it quickly and communicated that to me right away. I will definitely let people know ow about Closeout Bats as well as continue to shop there.
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!
