The one year anniversary for USA baseball bats is approaching and with a full spring season in the books, we’ve received a lot of feedback about the new USA Bat Standard. Players and parents all over the country have submitted their reviews on the regulation change at JustBats.com. Some positive, others not.

But in the end, the intentions of creating the USA stamp are in the right place and over time should benefit the game. Here's how we've gone about evaluating USA Baseball bats.

On August 7, 2015, the Little League International Board of Directors formally adopted the USA Baseball's new standard for bat performance testing.

Now, three years later, the USA Baseball approved baseball bats have been used, swung, and reviewed for a full season. So, here are the best 2018 Little League bats according to JustBats.com customer feedback (note: BBCOR bats are permitted for Intermediate 50-70 division and Junior League division, but must be labeled with a silkscreen or other permanent certification mark).

2018 marked a change for youth baseball bats, as the USABat standard was officially enacted.

Now, with even more to know about youth bats, JustBats.com sifted through customer reviews and player feedback to create a list of the seven (7) best 2018 youth baseball bats.

When Rawlings rolled out their initial USA Baseball approved baseball bats, drop 5 and drop 10 bats were well-represented.

The Quatro -10 and 5150 -5 were popular early on, and exclusive models (like the drop 11 Rawlings VELO) gained traction. But with the Easton Beast X as the only drop 12 option on the market for USA Baseball players, Rawlings saw an opportunity. JustBats.com reviews the newest addition to Rawlings' lineup -- the 2018 Rawlings Threat -12 USA Baseball Bat.

When USA Baseball, the national governing body for the sport of baseball in the United States, adopted the USABat Standard, it created a lot of questions.

With the new youth baseball standard officially in place, there have been a few changes recently. Namely, JustBats.com answers whether BBCOR bats are allowed in USA Baseball and Little League divisions.

2018 brought some changes to youth baseball bats.

Effective January 1, 2018, USA Baseball, the national governing body for the sport of baseball in the United States, officially adopted a new method for measuring bat performance. The USABat Standard may affect you and your Lil' All-Star, so for key takeaways and everything about the new method, please consult our Bat Resource Guide. If you know you'll need a new youth bat for this season, here are the best 2018 USA Baseball bats according to coaches, players, and customers.

Little League adopted a rule change starting in 2016 that changed the date of birth for a player from April 30 to August 31. While Little League adopted the rule early, other Leagues have followed suit. Starting in 2018 PONY baseball will implement the change. However, Cal Ripken, Babe Ruth, USSSA, and AABC will not make the age change.

The birthday age cutoff is important to know, notably since 2018 marks the start of the required USA Baseball stamp bats. JustBats.com has provided some resources to help if you have questions regarding the cutoff age dates.

USA Baseball approved youth bats have now been available since September. So far the customer reactions to USA Bats has been mixed.

However, bats such as Easton's Ghost X, Rawlings' Quatro, and the Louisville Slugger Solo 618 have garnered high marks. Adopting style and features from its parent baseball bat (Solo 618 BBCOR Bat), the Louisville Slugger Solo 618 USA Baseball Bat is set to take off for the 2018 season. JustBats.com has collected initial feedback on this new USA Bat bat and here is what we discovered.

Yin and yang. Apples and bananas. Beast X and Ghost X. While these two Easton baseball bats may be on different ends of the spectrum; they are both exceptional in their own way. One is composite while the other is aluminum. One is whole from end cap to knob for a stiff feel, while the other is a two-piece construction that gives off fantastic flex.

Do you know the differences between Easton's Ghost X and Beast X bats? Don't worry, the team at JustBats.com is here to explain both Easton bats in detail.

When USA Baseball announced a new standard for measuring youth baseball bats, some parents were concerned. The reason? A previously purchased baseball bat was being rendered useless after 2018 depending on their child's League. And, of course, that meant researching, selecting, and hoping for similar results from a new bat.

Now that the USA Baseball approved baseball bats have been released, JustBats.com has collected initial feedback on the new USA Bat bats.
