Easton MAV1

The -5 drop weight indicates the difference between the bat's length in inches and its weight in ounces. A -5 bat is slightly heavier than the lighter -10 or -12 models often used by younger players, making it a great transitional choice for players moving toward high school baseball who need more mass behind their swing.

The Easton MAV1 is USSSA certified, which means it is approved for use in most travel ball and competitive youth leagues that follow USSSA standards. Always double-check your specific league's rulebook before purchasing to ensure it meets their current certification requirements.

A one-piece alloy construction creates a stiff, solid feel upon contact. Because there is no flex point between the handle and the barrel, you get direct energy transfer from your swing into the ball, which many players prefer for consistent, predictable performance.

The Power Boost Soft Knob is designed to reduce vibration in your bottom hand while simultaneously providing better leverage. This allows for a more comfortable grip and can help you maintain better control through the hitting zone.

With its balanced swing weight, this bat is highly versatile. It offers the quickness and control that contact hitters need to adjust to pitches, but the thinner barrel walls also provide the pop and exit velocity that power hitters look for.
