Over the last few years baseball was introduced to a new category of bats that took leagues around the nation by storm.

What’s going on baseball fans? Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Kyle and I am the self proclaimed Bat Guru here at JustBats.com. I have played baseball my whole life, and when I got the option to make a living talking, buying, and breathing baseball I jumped at the opp and haven’t looked back. This whole blogging thing is pretty new to me, but I am excited to share some knowledge, opinion, and hopefully help out all our beloved JustBats.com fans. Today I want to break down the new Easton lineup and explain what has changed, and how to pick the right bat for you.
