Rawlings Raptor USA 10, 27"

The Rawlings Raptor USA baseball bat is designed especially for young players who are just starting out with baseball or want to improve their skills. The one-piece construction, made from a lightweight yet durable aluminium alloy, supports a fast, controlled swing. Thanks to the X-Tended Sweetspot technology, the ideal hitting area is expanded, which makes hitting easier and increases the chance of successful contact with the ball. The bat meets USA Baseball certification standards, making it suitable for use in official youth competitions.

Construction and performance of the Rawlings bat

The Raptor USA bat features a one-piece construction that ensures a consistent feel on contact with the ball and an efficient transfer of energy into the hit. The material is a durable aluminium alloy that combines low weight with high strength. A weight index (drop) of -10 means the bat is 10 units lighter (in ounces) than its length (in inches), which contributes to a very light swing. The combination of low weight and high strength promotes the speed and control that are crucial for developing a young player's technique. The 2 1/4-inch barrel diameter complies with youth league standards.
