Easton legit created the bat that gets weapon XP and levels up into a monstrosity with repeated use. I kind of love it.

walking into a sporting goods store and saying-  "I want the bat that killed that guy" is crazy

Bro made really good baseball bats and thinks he’s Oppenheimer 😂

"I want the bat that killed that guy" absolutely diabolical work

Considering Easton was trying to get around the certification process the name Orange Stealth seems appropriate

The biggest thing about composite bats, like the orange Stealth, from a player's perspective was that they gave the juiced performance of the old metal bats of the 90s but didn't hurt your hands.

Before this video, I never understood why the NCAA allows metal bats if the MLB does not. After this video, I DEFINITELY don't understand why the NCAA allows metal mats if the MLB does not...

Totally unrelated but one day it will be crazy that pitchers ever went without some sort of head protection

I remember when the Orange Stealth first came out in 07, nobody really used them... but then they started getting popular a full year later when the next year's version had already come out (the all blue stealth). It took that long for people to realize that it literally took a full season of an entire team using this bat (THOUSANDS of hacks) to get it to enter "GOD MODE". But by that point, they were already somewhat rare to find.
The one we use in our videos is almost 20 years old and it still feels like it needs thousands more break-in swings.

Bats weren't the only thing that were juiced in the 90's

1:21 I had 4/6 of these bats throughout high school and college. Crazy to think we were swinging golden age aluminum back then😂

growing up playing little league i just used whatever bat my dad bought me. turns out i was using black magics the entire time. he knew

Me, a sword nerd, thought immediately about weight distribution on the bats. The more you have towards the handle, the far less you feel the actual weight.

Got to find one of these in the goodwill bins 😂

I started playing little league in the 80’s from 3rd grade and played all the way to 97 when I finished my baseball career in High School.  Played 3rd base most of those years and man the rocket shots and short hops I had to take coming off those bats was something I’ll never forget.

Someone should have told Oceangate's CEO that composite materials have a tendency to "break in"

I used a 34/31 orange stealth that came from a prominent d2 school after the ban in a men’s league. I remember getting fooled on a curve ball and floating the bat over the plate almost one handed, I managed to barrel it and that ball went into the trees 350’ later.  

The catcher goes “dude you barely swung.”   That bat was sick.

Worth also had a carbon fiber bat called the 3d x that also got good after being abused. I remember using one and it sounded like swinging with a can of biscuits, but the ball went 330+ and would burn outfielders based on sound.

That's so crazy. I played HS baseball during the easton stealth comp era. It's so interesting that everyone knew those things were duds off the rack and you had to "break them in" like a glove, but I never knew why until today.

I can answer this for those wondering what it feels like to swing the stealth. I have an orange stealth, and it feels strange. It is very different from the newer bats. It is like a weird mix of an aluminum bat and a composite bat. It's stiffer than the new composite bats but definitely more flexible than just straight aluminum bats. What sets it apart from the newer bats is that it still has a lot of pop while maintaining durability, a light swing weight, and vibration dampening. If I were to compare it to new bats, i would say it is a mix between a usssa and a bbcor.
