The Miken Freak Patriot has been praised as a great slowpitch softball bat, but it has an even greater cause. Miken created the Freak Patriot softball bat in an effort to honor, support, and bring awareness to the servicemen and servicewomen who have sacrificed so much for our country. To show their support, Miken partnered with K9s For Warriors and The Heroes Mission. A portion of the proceeds from each sale of the Miken Patriot (including those sold on JustBats) will be donated to each of these two altruistic foundations.
