The Rawlings 2020 Threat USSSA bat was engineered with young ball players who struggle catching up with faster pitches in mind. Whether you're a young player just facing live pitches for the first time, or just looking for a lightweight bat, the Threat USSSA bat will help you get your barrel through the zone faster. It's 100% composite design, combined with an ultra-lightweight feel allows you to swing faster. In addition, it also gives you a better trampoline effect so you see the ball explode off your barrel upon contact.
