The day you've been waiting for is here: it's time to light the fire in USA baseball with the 2025 Hype Fire! New technology allows us to adapt the game's hottest bat to meet certifications of USA baseball while maintaining the Hype Fire's famous barrel responsiveness and feel.

The Hype Fire USA features Easton's 3D Ropecoil composite technology, where a 3-dimensional composite rope is wrapped 360 degrees around the inner barrel directly at the sweet spot, consistently governing performance right at the allowed limit without having to make any changes to the outer composite material. We're also bringing the Opti-Flex handle tech, driven by ongoing research and feedback from the game's top players, to deliver the perfect flex on each individual size of the Hype Fire USA.

On top of that, the Power Boost Soft Knob and Flow-Tack grip give hitters better leverage and improved comfort on the bottom hand, leading to faster swing speeds and more barrel control.
