Easton ADV 360 is not a fully new construction bat, like most Easton bats it is upgraded in 2023 by seeing its previous year's bat's response.
It is launched with a big barrel that is responsible for lengthy sweet spots.
Another new feature of this bat is that, its material requires a little-to-no break-in period. That results in 360 degrees of barrel-tuned precision and also helps to push its limits in performance.
The connector piece is filled with nitro cell foam that helps to reduce the vibration. And also provide a stiffer connection in contact with a baseball.
Dynamic Feel system (DFS) Carbon Handle gives a solid feel at contact and assists the connector piece in limiting vibration.
The soft knob gives a comfortable swinging experience for the bottom hand. And also increase leverage and cut-down vibration.
Flow-Tack Grip gives the utmost cushion and traction on a batter’s hands during the swing.

Except for these two new features, its design and features are the same as its previous version.
So if you are not a big fan of the 3-piece bat, and want to save some money you should go for its previous version that will only cost $299 and this will cost $399.

Axe Hero USA Baseball Bat helps young hitters to feel their proper hand alignment and develop the type of consistent, repeatable swing path which leads to long-term achievement.
It is designed to give players more speed, and control in the swing. Its 2 1/2-inch George springer pro-barrel profile produces the fastest swing weight in line.
Composite HyperWhip End Cap decreases unnecessary weight from the tip of the hero to provide faster swing and makes a bigger barrel.
The best part of this bat is its hitting zone area which provides max performance and strength to the hitting area, that’s why players never need to rotate their barrel for durability.

Full Review
2022 DeMarini CF USA bat is made with paraflex composite engineered for consistent responsiveness and a huge sweet spot.
The two piece bat construction is connected using 3Fusion connection, the streamlined design allows great weight control and balance.
This bat has a really great balance which is ideally preferred by kids playing in little leagues.
Though, like any other composite bat it also needs to be broken in to unlock its full potential.
Price could be an issue for some of the buyers but people who had already bought any of the CFs in the past would know that it is worth the price always.
Durability, Performance, Balanced and in hand feel everything is just almost perfect. For me it is the best composite USA youth baseball bat.

DeMarini The Goods USA is hybrid bat, barrel made with X14 aluminum alloy and handle made with composite.
The two pieces are connected using Type V Connection that is tuned specifically for our Gapped Wall barrel to maximize barrel performance.
The Tracer end cap is composed of lightweight and sturdy composite material that enhances bat speed without compromising the barrel performance.
2022 DeMarini the Goods barrel is aluminum alloy which is preferred by those who do not like to wait for the break-in period.
It comes hot out of the barrel and made with sturdy material. Overall, its features are quite similar to the BBCOR the Goods bat but of course performance is different
This USA bat is the best aluminum alloy baseball bat for little league players.

Louisville Slugger Prime USA youth baseball bats are released very 2 years and 2022 is the year for the latest release.
2020 Slugger Prime was sold extensively till the end of 2021 season, until the latest one launched.
2022 Slugger Prime is made with all composite material, the barrel and handle as well is made with the same composite.
It is a two piece baseball bat, the two pieces are connected VCX2 Connection system which is first being used in any of the slugger bat. VCX2 drastically reduced the vibrations from reaching your hands
The barrel material AVC Microform is also first introduced and it features an RTX end cap.
Due to its composite barrel construction it needs to be broken in to unlock its full potential and after breaking it in, I'm sure it can perform better than any other bat out there.
The green color and the graphics of this USA bat looks really cool and it comes with a full 12 month warranty

Final Verdict
Here comes now the final verdict about the best USA bats of the year, The 2023 Axe Avenge Hybrid is our favourite bat, as it is really very powerful and durable.
For those who like to have an all composite bat may go for 2023 Easton ADV 360, though it performs great but we are still not 100% sure about its durability.
The title for best one-piece USA bat goes to 2023 AXE Strato and AXE Hero is more like something the cheapest bat to buy.
Now talking about previous year models that are still relevant, The 2022 DeMarini CF, DeMarini The Goods and Slugger Prime can still be considered as one of the best USA bats.
