Yep it's cracked; might still work but it's just a matter of time before she's done.
DD goes through 5 bats a year. I've seen that crack many times. The story always ends the same way. If it's on warranty send that picture in; the manufacturer will confirm; then send the bat in and they will replace.
Yes, DD's bat looked like that about 6 weeks ago. This happened Friday night hitting off the HitTrax machine. We bought the bat in early July, so it's under warranty. The replacement is going to be used exclusively as a game bat in the future and we picked up an LXT that was in great shape at Play It Again Sports for practice.
What the heck made that blue smudge on bottom of barrel? Is that from a Heavy Ball? My guess is, whatever made that blue smudge, probably cracked the bat.
And these, look like cleat marks.... (ask me how I know.... )
