We are waiting for more feedback on the 2023 Easton ADV 360. This bat is approved by USA and will likely be seen in the Little League World Series for 2022. We plan to update this page with more information on the 2023 Easton ADV 360 in USA.
The two piece composite Easton ADV 360 has a big barrel and a great feel.
Big barrels on light swinging two-piece composite bats are meant for the younger hitter who wants as much plate coverage as possible. Easton’s ADV 360 is Easton’s marquee bat in their entire lineup (BBCOR included). The bat comes in every size imaginable, from a drop 11 27-inch to a 32-inch drop 5. It’s a great bat for the serious player who wants the most from their bat.

As far as we can tell, the 2023 Easton ADV 360 won’t have any changes other than graphics compared to 2022. However, it is not widely available to the public yet—just for the Little League world series. There might be some minor changes, but the bat did well enough in 2022 that we see little reason for Easton to do any major overhauls. The PowerBoost Knob, connecting piece, and barrel profiles all look similar. The only change in the line is from 2021 to 2022; Easton made the drop 11 more durable–which appears to be solved mainly in the 2022 version.
The overall rating uses seven different weighted metrics to determine our overall score. Half of total rating comes from the player and our exit speed tests (Player Rating: 25%, Performance: 25%).The other categories are Relevance (20%), Demand (10%), Durability (10%), Resell Score (5%), and Tech Specs (5%).
*: When a bat is denoted by a star (*) it is a preliminary rating. Expect it to be updated as we learn more about the bat and gather more data.
(PlaRa) Player Rating: We measure player rating from user reviews. Those users include our own hitters that we test at the lab as well as reviews we find online.
(ExVe) Performance: Performance measures the exit speeds and distances we capture in our hitting lab with HitTrax using these bats.
(Relv) Relevance: We measure the number of sizes and the MOI of the bat. Bats with a wider range of options get a better score.
(Dmnd) Demand: Demand is measured by consumer sentiment and the buzz around the bat.
(Drb) Durability: A bat’s durability is measured by user reviews as well as feedback from manufacturers.
(ReSl) Resell Score: Based on the price the bats go for used. Higher prices mean greater user demand which means, generally, a better bat. A resell value closer to its original price means a higher score.
(Tech) Tech Specs: We rate the bat on its technological advancements from previous years and compared to the industry at large. This is our chance to reward companies who are trying to innovate.
MOI
MOI or Mass Moment of Inertia is a measurement of bat swing weight. This quantifies how difficult it is to swing a bat. The industry often refers to this as things like End Load or Balanced but those words have been overused to the point of meaninglessness. We measure the actual swing weights of each bat we test using the industry-standard pendulum period, balance point, and scale weight. You can read more about that here.
Price
The price is the original MSRP price of the bat.
Type
The types of bats are single-piece alloy (SPA), two-piece composite (TPC), single-piece composite (SPC), hybrid (Hyb.), and wood (Wood). Hybrid bats are made of composite handles and alloy barrles.
Date
The estimated date the bat began distribution.
