Best USA Bats 2019 Cage Side Results
via JBR YouTube Channel
You can see our best USA bats write up here: https://ift.tt/2KVMN7p Here is one of the favorites from the video: https://amzn.to/2PibzAm (affiliate) It covers both the 2019 and inaugural 2018 class. In short, there are a lot of good bats. Which, we guess, is another way of saying there really isn't a standout bat. The standard has really shortened the gap between the winners and losers.
