The Omaha USA is a one piece alloy with a 2 5/8 inch barrel in drop 10. On the USA Baseball approved list it appears as UBOMB10-26 in lengths 26 to 32 inches.

An alloy bat needs no break in and handles cold spring games better than a composite. One piece alloys usually sting more on mishits than two piece bats.

The wide range of lengths, down to 26 inches, covers younger and smaller players. A 2027 Omaha (UBOMB10-27) is also on the list, so check the model number when you buy.

The Bottom Line

A one piece alloy drop 10 USA Baseball bat, no break in needed. Legal in Little League; not for USSSA 13U.
