Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat

Younger players who want an eye-catching design and a bat for improved power hitting.

Perfect bat for:

The Hype Fire is a balanced, two piece composite bat with a very fast swing rate. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on the second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The players love the flames. Certain leauges are starting to ban this bat, check that before you buy.

The Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat is USSSA and USA-approved, featuring a redesigned Thermo Composite Technology barrel for a large sweet spot and consistent power. The Opti-Flex handle optimizes stiffness for balanced swing control, while the Power Boost Soft Knob reduces vibration and enhances grip comfort, allowing players to focus on hitting.


Progression of the Hype Fire

The Louisville Slugger Meta offers a balanced approach with its Lite Alloy design, featuring a Lite Swing Weight for easier bat control. The DeMarini CF emphasizes a smooth swing with its CFusion composite barrel and a Comfort Flare knob, ideal for developing hitters who prioritize feel over pure power.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that.
