  • A bat built to run this game. Just like you. Introducing the all-new Meta Fastpitch Bat from Louisville Slugger. It features a revolutionary patent pending cantilevered gapped barrel design that maximizes performance and expands the sweet spot of the bat. The low compression barrel design and unmatched feel went through years of playtesting with elite talent. The end result? A cutting-edge high performer that’s ready to go as soon as you unwrap it.
  • The future of offense belongs to those swinging an Icon. We built the 2023 Rawlings Icon BBCOR baseball bat with the cutting edge technology. The In/Tense carbon composite construction maximizes barrel size while maintaining optimal stiffness, resulting in more trampoline off the bat. On top of that, the Zero-Loss collar and connection joint creates a smooth connection between handle and barrel to eliminate any drag or vibration.
  • Deliver monstrous hits in big moments and silence the opposition with one swing. The 2023 DeMarini Whisper (-9) Fastpitch Bat boasts an original Amplified Gapped Wall Continuous Fiber Barrel, one of the most advanced technologies to ever come out of DeMarini’s Oregon factory. Extra space between inner and outer walls empowers the Whisper’s continuous fiber composite barrel to jumpstart the ball on contact, resulting in potent exit velocities and extra base hits. Whisper employs a two-piece composite construction to maximize your power output, and its Anomaly Connection System with a stiff, trumpet-shaped handle dampens vibration while still responding to mis-hits. Ideal for advanced hitters looking to launch the ball over the wall, the Whisper (-9) fastpitch bat delivers a balanced feel, brighter sound and dominant performance.

    The 2027 A2000® 1673 is a 13” first base mitt designed to serve as a massive target at first base. Big. Strong. Flexible. This Single Post Web glove is built for the demands of the position, both as a fielder and a receiver. Two primary features define the 1673–size and construction. The 13” length makes you a big target at first, letting you extend your reach in every direction to reel in high and wide throws. The cut-out construction–where the glove separates between the toe and palm–creates a larger catching area, meaning a wider space within the palm where the ball can hit and reliably be funneled into the pocket. Additionally, this design is easier to break in than traditional first base mitts. A Blonde Pro Stock® leather outer shell pairs with Walnut Pro Stock® leather palm and web to deliver premium performance and feel that only gets better with time, creating a personalized partner for your career at first. Saddle Tan laces, Wilson Yellow logos and White stitching take a number of classic elements and turn them into something completely new.

    Description:

    The 2027 A2000® DH12 is a 12” pitcher’s glove built to create an extra deep pocket where pitchers can dig for their grip without giving away what they’re throwing. New for 2027, the Flex Insert introduces a leather and felt hybrid piece running from the thumb to the heel, softening one of the most difficult parts of the glove to break in and making it 17% easier to squeeze the glove shut compared to previous models. The DH12 gets its name from the Dual Hinge Web, a closed-web design that allows for an extra deep pocket that opens wide, letting pitchers find their grip without tipping off batters based on the glove wriggles or how wide it appears from home plate. The modified wrist opening hugs the hand while letting the DH12 sit in a comfortable position while you come set and work through your motion. Blonde Pro Stock® leather offers premium performance and feel that only gets better with time. Our trademark Dual Welting helps maintain ideal shape throughout the life of the glove. Black laces and Red accents, including the DH12’s distinct zig-zag web stitching, give this glove a clean, crisp look on the hill.
