2022 Black Friday Baseball Bats Deals

Top 10 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals [so far]

Last Updated: 11/28/2022 8:01 am MST

Black Friday is here! Here are the top 12 deals we’ve seen so far. We’ll keep updating this as we find more.

1. 1. MLB Hats These are a bit hit and miss,</a > but at some point today they were up to 65% off. We’ll see what the weekend holds, but an official MLB hat at 65% off retail is rarely seen.
   2. Rawlings pushing hard on some sweet Heart of the Hide gloves</a >. Big fans. In the low $200’s probably worth a close look if you’re in the market for a glove.
   3. Slugger’s 2022 META for $150 off directly on their site</a >in all models is a legit deal. Cheapest we’ve seen that bat. The drop 8 for $199. Get it.
   4. Just Bats is selling the BBCOR Axe Avenge Pro for $149 in some sizes. If you’ve yet to try out an Axe Handle, this would be the time.
   5. DeMarini’s D-Lab Zoa (which is the same as the normal ZOA that’s $500) is $300. That’s a great deal.
   6. At Dicks: the CAT 9 Connect Pastime</a > in a drop 10 for $199 is a legit deal. We’ve only seen it as low as $250
   7. Just Bats deal on the Easton Hype USSSA is legit</a >. Lowest we’ve ever seen that bat.
   8. Easton’s deal on the Hype BBCOR</a > is also legit.
   9. This Rawlings bat bag is as cheap as it has ever been (and then some), and it might be the best-made bag on the market.
   10. The Rawlings Quatro Pro is not that bad of a bat. Actually, it’s good. And it’s for $189.
   11. DeMarini’s D243 Maple Wood Composite at $99? Yeesh. Great deal. And this is a great wood option for many.
   12. True Temper is dealing some gear</a > for cheap. Bat grips for $5, batting gloves for $20, and a few bats for less than $50.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a bat?

Sincerely, yes. But you need to make sure you buy the right kind. Newly released bats are rarely on sale. The 2023 versions will be priced as they are until at least the late spring of 2023.

But the real deals are in overstocked bats that, for whatever reason, didn’t get the play they should have for 2022. Don’t expect to see a hyped bat for a deep discount. (The Voodoo One in BBCOR, for example, will be full price). But a bat like the 2022 Meta that is fantastic but didn’t sell very well should be a deal.

If you are happy with a bat that isn’t the most hyped and a ‘last years’ model, then Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great times to buy a bat.

By Site – Black Friday Deals

Amazon Deals

Update 11.25.2022 1:00 pm MST

• Look through the baseball section of the Amazon Black Friday</a > pages.
• If you want a top-of-the-line bat bag, this one from Rawlings is it. And it’s the cheapest it has ever been.

Axe

Update 11.22.2022 9:00 am MST

Axe has a bat for great prices. We are fans of the Avenge Pro for $319 and the flared Strato at $279.

DeMarini

Update 11.12.2022 9:00 am MST

• The 2022 Zoa D-Lab for $299 (this is the same bat as The Goods) is a GREAT DEAL.

Dicks Sporting Goods

Update 11.25.2022 2:00 pm MST

Dicks has 355 baseball and fastpitch deals</a >. Lots feel pretty fluffy, but here are a couple we really like:

• TheCAT 9 Connect Pastime</a > in a drop 10 for $199 is a legit deal. We’ve only seen it as low as $250
• The Marucci CAT 9 in a drop 10 for $199 is the cheapest we’ve seen it by $40.

We’ve tracked prices on Dicks Sporting Goods for several months. Here are the 4 bats that have dropped their price for the weekend.

• 2022 The Goods Hybrid</a > in a -10 went down $70.
• The 2022 Meta in a drop 10, 8 and 5</a > came down $30.

Easton

Update 11.12.2022 9:00 am MST

• Easton has a clearance section worth checking out. This isn’t a ‘black Friday deal’ but an ‘end of season deal.’ The Hype in BBCOR is CHEAAAAP. Great bat, we think. JustBats has better deals on the USSSA versions.

Just Bats

Updated 11.25.22 3:01 pm MST

• • Just Bats has already gone live with many deals</a >.
  • Our favorite is the Easton ADV Hype for <$180</a > in most sizes. Great bat, a great price. The drop 10 is $30 off it’s already low price of $200.

At least 25 bats dropped prices for the weekend. You can find them here</a >:

• • The 2022 Axe Avenge Pro in BBCOR dropped $30.
  • The 2022 Rawlings Quatro Pro MAX BBCOR dropped $30.
  • The Marucci CAT8 -8 2 3/4″ USSSA dropped $20.
  • The 2022 Easton Maxum Ultra -5 2-5/8″ USSSA dropped $20.
  • Marucci CAT9 Composite Pastime -5 also dropped $20.

Marucci

Update 11.22.2022 9:00am MST

Marucci has never been big on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. There are no closeout-type deals. They usually let a group like Dicks Sporting Goods do the dirty work.

This year, for example, you can get a free hat if you buy a bat. Oh, okay.

We’d instead get a great deal on a bat somewhere else.

Rawlings

Update 11.22.2022 9:00 am MST

• Rawlings pushing hard on some sweet Heart of the Hide gloves. Big fans. In the low $200’s probably worth a close look if you’re in the market for a glove.
• The Rawlings Quatro Pro is not that bad of a bat. Actually, it’s good. And it’s for $189.

Slugger

Update 11.22.2022 9:00 am MST

Slugger’s deals are mostly live.

• The 2022 META for $150 off on all models.

• The Solo, for $100 if most models, is outstanding.
• We also love the Black Camo FlexFit for $15.

Stinger

Update 11.12.2022 9:00 am MSTComing Soon

True Temper

Update 11.22.2022 9:00 am MST

• True Temper has 60% off a lot of things.
• The Zerolyte adult batting gloves are quality stuff, and at $20 you’ll have a hard time finding a better pair at a better price.
• An excellent bat grip for $5? Crazy times.

Warstic

Update 11.12.2022 9:00 am MST

Warstic has a few things about 20% off. These aren’t crazy deals, but if you want a Warstic Bonesaber, this might be the moment.

Wilson Gloves

Update 11.22.2022 9:00am MSTThe Glove Bonanza is over. But there are a few smaller discounts.
