Easton’s latest and greatest two-piece composite is the 2023 ADV Hype. The bat is a two-piece composite built on the chassis of the Easton Hype from 2022 with a different paint job. That is to say, the only reason to buy this over the 2022 version is that you like the colors. It’s a great bat, and the unique soft knob is a reason to consider it alone.
