How to pick a BBCOR Baseball Bat for 2023

How to pick a BBCOR Baseball Bat for 2023

So you're looking for a new BBCOR baseball bat and are unsure which to choose! There are so many options that it can be overwhelming to pick one that fits your needs best. Well fear not fellow Headbangers, we are here to help! In this article we are going to go through the three main types of baseball bats as well as our selection of the top 2023 BBCOR baseball bats that we carry here at Headbanger Sports. To start out, let's go through the three main types of baseball bats as well as what your normal expectations should be for each. Please note, this is not a suggestion as to which bats are better than others, rather a place of knowledge to help you determine which bat will fit YOU best. 



Alloy BBCOR Baseball Bats 


Alloy BBCOR Baseball bats are a one piece aluminum alloy design. Durability, stiffness and the signature “PING” sound is what you should expect. Alloy bats tend to survive the cold weather alot better and tend to be cheaper overall than composite baseball bats due to the cost of materials used, but alloy won’t have as great of a ‘trampoline’ effect as composite barrels do. If you play in more northern locations where your average outside temperature is below 60 degrees fahrenheit, then it is recommended that you pick up a one piece alloy or hybrid baseball bat. Below are a few suggestions based on our top selling one-piece alloy BBCOR Baseball bats.

Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bats


Hybrid Baseball bats are a combination of Alloy materials and composite materials. This can be in any combination but the most common designs are a composite handle with an alloy barrel or a combination of alloy and composite barrel makeup with a composite handle. The purpose of hybrid bats are for those that love alloy barrels but want more shock absorption ( found in the connecting collar between the barrel and handle ) and want a little more flex in the handle (this is where the composite handle comes into play). As stated above, Alloy barrels have a little more durability when it comes to colder climates so it stands to reason that those that play in northern climates where the average temperature is below 60 degrees fahrenheit will have better durability with hybrid or one piece alloy baseball bats. Below are a few suggestions based on our top selling Hybrid BBCOR Baseball bats.

2023 Easton Encore Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat:

 

The 2023 Easton Encore Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat pulls in all the best features of Easton's cutting edge bat engineering, resulting in a 2-piece hybrid bat that will earn you a reputation as an offensive force every time you step in the box. This bat is unique in respect to other hybrid BBCOR bats due to the combination of alloy and composite materials used to build the barrel ( whereas other hybrids are normally just an alloy makeup). 

 

Easton built the barrel of this bat with CompCore Technology, pulling together cutting-edge elements of alloy and composite barrel design. To create the CompCore barrel, the ringless R5 alloy of the Encore Hybrid is thinned out by about 30% and then reinforced with Thermo Composite Technology across the length of the hitting surface. This creates an ultra-thin barrel wall, bigger sweet spot, and maximum "trampoline effect" upon contact. The PureLynk CXN joint connects the handle directly to the barrel, maximizing the energy transfer and stiff feel of the Pro-Stiff carbon handle. 

All of these features add up to a bat that captures as much energy as you can generate and efficiently transfers it to the baseball, but all you have to do is swing it hard and watch it fly. You'll not only see the difference that the Easton Encore Hybrid Baseball Bat makes, but you'll hear it, too. The unique, cutting edge barrel design creates a one-of-a-kind sound off the bat that's sure to echo in a pitcher's ears as you're rounding the bases. 

 

Easton topped this bat off with Flow-Tack grip, their most premium bat grip, to give you the ultimate combination of cushion and tack swing after swing. The 2023 Easton Encore Hybrid  BBCOR Baseball bat is the pinnacle of new innovation in both alloy and composite bat design.

Full Composite Two-Piece BBCOR Baseball Bats


Full Composite Baseball bats are normally found as 2-pieces. Two- piece composite BBCOR baseball bats are made up of a composite barrel mated with a composite handle paired together by a connection collar which usually will play a large role in the shock absorption of the overall bat. Composite bats give the hitter a bigger trampoline effect causing the ball to jump off the barrel and send it to the stratosphere but will become sensitive and fragile in colder climates (anything below 60 degrees fahrenheit). With the composite handle you will have a little more flex in your swing as well. Composite bats, if used properly with the correct balls, will last you a very long time and will become as hot as Miami, Florida in the dead of summer. Below are a few Full composite two-piece BBCOR baseball bats that are offered here at Headbanger Sports.
