The 2022 Louisville Slugger Meta is the most costly model on the list right off the bat (get it?). It’s also the most expensive fastpitch bat so far in the year 2022. Many players will be unable to afford it because of this. The Louisville Slugger Meta, on the other hand, comes with a slew of features that help justify its hefty price tag.

While it’s the most expensive bat on the market, the 2022 Easton Ghost Advanced is worth it, especially for stronger players. The end-loaded version is recommended more than the balanced one since you can generate a lot more power with it.

At $449.95 brand new, the Meta is one of the most expensive bats to ever hit the softball market.
