Best BUDGET BBCOR Bats (under $200):

With such a restrictive performance standard like BBCOR, we've found that a lot of the cheapo bats are actually really solid. While these aren't the "best" bats on the market in our opinion, they're honestly not very far off from our Top 10 bats.

Our Top 5 USSSA Bats of 2023

While there are some very hot alloy/aluminum USSSA bats out there this year, a good broken-in composite USSSA bat will usually outperform an alloy/aluminum USSSA bat (although that is not necessarily true when it comes to "BBCOR"). The primary benefit of swinging an alloy bat in USSSA is that they are more durable than their composite counterparts.
