Easton makes the Hype Fire as a BBCOR bat, model EBB6HYP3, released the same season USSSA moved 14U to BBCOR. It is a two piece composite at drop 3, certified in lengths 30 to 34 inches.
It is a different bat from the USSSA Hype Fire, with a different certification. The BBCOR version has a 2 5/8 inch barrel and a fixed drop 3; the USSSA version has a 2 3/4 inch barrel in drop 5, 8, and 10. Neither is legal in the other's leagues, and the 2024 Perfect Game suspension of the USSSA drop 5, since lifted, never applied to this bat.
As a composite it needs a break in period and should stay out of cold games, because cold can crack composite barrels. Check the warranty terms.
The Bottom Line
The Hype Fire name as a BBCOR bat. Legal from USSSA 14U through college; not for Little League Majors and below.
