When do the 2021 bats come out?

[TXJames44]

Anything new coming out soon?

 

[MadBandit22]

I would expect to see 2021 bats start rolling out in June. Slugger, Demarini, Rawlings, Mizuno, Axe, and then most likely Easton, Marucci later in the Summer/Fall.

The Virus thing has pushed stuff back. Usually all manufacturers like to run May/June

Mizuno usually does May, but they are releasing June 1st. So they are pretty much on track give or take
Easton---updated this after I spoke with Easton 2 posts down...haha
Rawlings will be June
Marucci I thought already had their bat out.
I would bet LS wont be releasing til later than their usual as they come from overseas also.

Core what are you hearing about the AdvancedPlus? Release date?

 

[CoreSoftball20]

And an update to Easton...the Stars and Stripes Dual Ghost will be out June

The Stars and Stripes Ghost WILL BE the 2021 version for this year.
There will be no new Easton FP bat after that for this year

I actually learned something after going for cheap comedy there!

 

[TXJames44]

Is Stars and Stripes Ghost cosmetic change only? Is there an Advanced version too?

 

[CoreSoftball20]

Just the Dual has the USA color version. And yes, just cosmetic. The ADV came out in Jan and with this virus crap,
limited numbers were shipped so they are just going to work on getting more of them to the dealers.

We had an organizational workout in March right before everything got shut down. The organizers brought a bunch of demo bats (we were told they were the 2021 bats) from LS and Demarini. Is it possible the were the 2021s? They definitely had different paint jobs than the 2020s.

Yes, demos are always out and about before they are released.
