• Easton 2014 S500 BB14S500 BBCOR Baseball Bat (-3)

The Easton 2014 S500 weighs about 1.8 pounds, and has a thin 31/32 handle, boasting a -3 length to weight ration, with a pro tack grip which allows for a good pop, particularly due to a good grip. It is ideal for children and adults alike, although some may prefer a baseball bat which is slightly lighter, but for most this does not make much of a difference. It comes in a nice, bright color scheme of black and grey with a pop of bright green. What makes it different from the other bats is that it is very budget friendly while being durable and high quality.

• Rawlings Velo Hybrid Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat

Designed particularly for the high school and collegiate baseball players, this is a relatively heavier baseball bat in a 31/28 size, made out of high quality materials. It is a well-balanced bat, making it a good solid option for the collegiate level players. It helps the ball get a good pop off the bat and helps deliver a good performance.

• DeMarini 2015 Voodoo Overlord FT BBCOR Baseball Bat

With a length to weight ratio of -3, similar to the Easton S500, this expensive baseball bat gives greater plate coverage.

The specially designed end cap allows for a larger sweet spot, maximizing energy transfers through the swing, and thus, performance.

With respect to its durability, some may have to switch to a newer bat sooner than expected as it may get damaged quickly.

While Marucci is famous for it professionally inspired balance, this particular bat is perfect for collegiate and even high school level baseball as this bat is an easy to hold, easy to swing bat with a greater sweet spot for hitting a homerun. Although this bat provides a better pop and hit closer to the handle, it plays well enough overall. This bat is highly recommended as it gives an excellent performance, is durable and is not very pricey either compared to other high-end bats with similar properties.
