FINDING THE RIGHT BAT ON CLEARANCE
Finding the Right Bat on Clearance
Tips for selecting a discounted baseball bat that still meets your performance needs.
When searching for a clearance baseball bat, don't just look at the price tag. Consider the material (alloy, composite, wood), length, weight, and drop weight. A bat's performance can vary significantly based on these factors. Even clearance bats come in various certifications (BBCOR, USA Baseball, USSSA), so ensure it meets your league's requirements. Read reviews and compare specifications to ensure you're getting a quality bat that fits your swing style and power. Sometimes, a previous year's model offers identical performance to the current year's at a much lower cost. Always check for any cosmetic damage or structural issues before purchasing, as clearance items are often sold 'as-is'.
