THE YARD SERIES

Some of the most well-known baseball players in the world began their journey in Little League Baseball. Not only are these talented young athletes taught how to play baseball effectively, but also how to properly use and choose baseball equipment – which is just as important. Having good equipment is essential, and the primary piece of equipment is a high quality bat. Little Leaguers have access to many of the great bats out there, but choosing the right brand can be a difficult decision. Below, we’ve listed a few of the brands with phenomenal baseball bats that are great for Little Leaguers. If you caught this year’s Little League World Series, you probably saw some of these bats in action (if you missed it, check out the sports DIRECT TV deals that offer expanded ESPN coverage so you don’t miss a pro or amateur baseball game).

Easton

Easton has thrived in the midst of many baseball brands by creating top notch equipment to protect and better the baseball games of young players. Their bats are well-known for being equipped with plenty of new technology that strives to revolutionize the batting game. For example, the 2015 Easton Mako TORQ Youth Barrel Bat offers a 360 degree twisting handle which provides batters with more options for maneuvering. Although Easton is one of the more expensive brands, it is one of the few worth the extra cost. Easton will be looking to become the next top bat on the baseball scene, especially with their newest line of bats expected to release next year.

Rawlings

Although Rawlings is one of the older brands, it is still among the go-to bats for players of all ages. Bats like the Rawlings-10 Youth Bat and the Rawlings Mach-10 offer Little Leaguers durability and reliability, which are two necessary qualities in any bat. Rawling bats continue to improve year after year, most recently with their 2015 line of bats. Rawlings is in the same price range as most other reputable brands, but offers a broader selection which includes various designs.

Combat

Combat is another brand that offers spectacular design, technology and material. This bat brand is said to be for the elites, and those claims are proven correct with the Combat Wanted Youth Barrel- 10. Equipped with lightweight construction and Handle Isolation Technology, this is the perfect bat for swinging for the fences. Combat bats have done wonders for players of all ages and the brand is hailed as producing the world’s best all around bats.

Louisville Slugger

The Louisville Slugger is an older, reliable brand that still demands the attention of many players today. Little Leaguers love it because of its swing effect, one-piece construction and superior grip technology. The brand also has a great history behind it, which dates back 120 years. Since its beginning, the Slugger has remained relevant amongst the batting brands for both adults and youth. For Little Leaguers, the Louisville Assault Coach Pitch-10 is a wise choice, along with its successor, the Louisville Slugger Omaha 515 Coach Pitch-10.

With so many brands of baseball bats on the market, the decision regarding which to buy is always going to be challenging, but these 4 brands all produce excellent, trustworthy equipment that is guaranteed to be effective. The Little League season may be coming to an end for now, but it’s never too late to pick up the finest baseball equipment.

Wilson has single handedly taken over the number one spot for high end baseball mitts. 5 years ago the $200+ price point was split between Rawlings, Mizuno and Wilson and now the true king is clear. Wilson is a pro model glove line that gives young players the option to buy the exact model used by their favorite player in MLB. Rawlings is following suite (finally) but the lead is so strong for Wilson that it will take some serious work to catch the top dog.

Below I am going to break down what is going on with the Wilson A2K and A2000 series for 2015.

This year we have seen something special finally come from the A2K series of mitts. Every year A2000 crushes it, but the top price point always fell behind Pro Preferred in the mind of the buyer, but I have a strong feeling that is all about to change in favor of the fantastic look and feel of the 2015 A2K mitts. The Brandon Philips glove is as sharp as ever with special branded BP logo and tri color looks this thing is guaranteed to be a big seller. The Pedroia) and David Wright models are both lookers that will be hot sellers at the $300+ price point. Other than player specific models the entire A2K glove line is super refreshed for the 2015 season and with black, gunmetal and red accents you can’t even start to complain about the looks this line offers.

Yes. We want to talk about practice because everyone knows that without proper preparation, you cannot perform to your highest abilities. Repetition is key in any sport, but in the game of baseball or softball, repetition and consistency is survival. Slumps are had by all, and it is due to the smallest degree of consistency being off. The key to busting a slump is practice (with a pinch of luck). Training facilities are popping up all over the country, and while these offer a chance to get out and practice in a great setting, it isn’t always easy to hop in the car and drive after a long day of work to a facility. So, why not bring the benefits right home to your back yard?
