BBCOR Test: Easton Omen bat review with Bryan Benz of the Dallas Dodgers

We are trying out all the new BBCOR bats. Easton Omen is a great bat. Very easy to swing and one of the best balanced bats you can find. Not top heavy or end loaded. Price has dropped and this is a great find if still available. Similar to S1 but less expensive now.

Im 13 years old, 5 foot 8 and 150 lbs should i get 33" 30 oz. or 32" 29 oz.?

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@TBone9812 I would suggest 32" so you can maximize your bat speed.

Is this bat good for a 14 year old 6 ft power hitter or should I get the xl3

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@zcsurow The omen is not a power hitters bat, it feels very light, power hitter would like the XL3 or XL2 better. Go to the store and get a feel for the difference in them.

[TBone9812]

@NorthTexasBaseball Thanks! That is what I was planning on getting :)

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@habababa88 For contact hitter, you would want a lighter feeling bat such as the 5150 Velo, Omen, Z-1000, etc.

[habababa88]

@NorthTexasBaseball mostly line drives and a little power im 5foot 6..im only 14 haha

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@habababa88 There are many great bats this year. Difference is going to be what feels good to you. A power hitter will not like the feel of the composites because they feel too light, contact hitter won't like the end loaded feel that others have. All a matter of taste and personal preference. What type of hitter are you and how tall are you?

[habababa88]

what do u thinks the best bbcor bat/

[NorthTexasBaseball]

@dgloverproductions Both are great bats. The Rawlings is alloy from end cap to knob and will give you a little bit of vibration on off center hits while the Omen, full composite, has a connexion dampener that reduces the sting.  Plus it is a $399 bat that you can buy for $200 now. 5150 is still $175-199.
