The Easton Hype Fire -8 USSSA Baseball Bat is built for stronger youth players who want an end-loaded swing and maximum power at the plate. Using the same Thermo Composite Technology as the full Hype Fire line, this drop-8 model packs a slightly heavier feel that drives the barrel through the zone for extra-base impact. The vivid Pink/Orange/Yellow/Blue gradient graphic turns heads while the 2 ¾" barrel and USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp keep you tournament-ready. Ideal for elite travel-ball hitters moving toward a BBCOR feel, the Hype Fire -8 delivers the pop, stiffness, and confidence needed to clear fences.
