Is Owning New Bats Worth the Extra Cost? The Math Says No.

March 7, 2025

Here's something to get you started:


Is Owning New Bats Worth the Extra Cost? The Math Says No.

Let’s be real—if you’re the type of person who loves having a garage full of bats, just for the sake of owning them, and you’re happy paying full price for all your other gear, then Bat Club USA probably isn’t for you. But if you’d rather keep your money in your pocket while still using top-tier equipment, then let’s talk about the smarter way to get your gear.

The True Cost of Owning New Bats

Buying a new bat every season (or even twice a season) is unnecessarily expensive. Most bats cost $400–$500 brand new, and the second you use them, their value drops. If you try to resell them, you’ll be lucky to get half of what you paid. And that’s before you even factor in how fast young players outgrow their bats.

At Bat Club USA, we’ve built a system that lets you get top-tier bats without the crazy price tags. Let’s break down the math.


MVP Lite Membership: The Smart Way to Save

Let’s say you’re looking at getting the Easton Ghost Advanced. With the MVP Lite membership, you can get it today for just $360 when you bundle with select items at checkout like Marucci Full Wrap Blacksmith Batting Gloves. Then, for the next 6 months, you’ll have made 5 payments of just $15 each.

Now, imagine that in 6 months, you need a larger bat. Instead of buying a brand-new one for another $500, you simply switch your bat. The restock fee for switching to a new Easton Ghost Advanced would be $310.

But here’s where it gets even better. If you also add a Wilson A2000 glove (normally $300), the switch fee drops by 20%, saving you an additional $62. And because MVP Lite members get 20% off accessories, you’d save $60 on the glove as well.

Let’s Compare the Costs

Purchase Type Traditional Buying Bat Club USA MVP Lite
1st Ghost Advanced w/ Marucci Blacksmith Batting Gloves Welcome Bundle $560 $360
New Ghost Advanced (6 months later) $500 $248 (restock switch & 20% bundle discount)

Total Monthly MVP Lite Membership fees

Wilson A2000 Glove

$0

$300

$165

$240 (after 20% off)

Total Spent $1,360 $1013
Total Saved — $347

So, the question is: Do you really want to spend $347 per year just to own bats that sit in your garage?


Hall of Fame (HOF) Membership: The Ultimate Bat Savings Plan

With Klarna financing, you can get all of this for as low as $50 per month—making it the most affordable way to always have the best bat in your hands.

If you’re looking for the best value over multiple seasons, the HOF Membership is the way to go. Here’s how it works:

✅ Get your first bat at a discounted price.
✅ Over 2 years, you receive 3 free Express Switches, allowing you to get up to 4 different bats.
✅ At the end of 2 years, you keep the last bat you choose.

That’s up to $2,000 worth of bats and up to $598.99 in welcome gift for only $1,200 over two years—just $50 per month when financed through Klarna.

Compare That to Buying New

If you were to buy 4 bats outright over two years, you’d spend around $2,198.99 –$2,598.99, and those bats would start losing value the moment you use them. Instead, with the HOF Membership, you save hundreds of dollars, always have the right size bat, and own your final bat at the end.

So the real question is: Would you rather pay every bat up front and spend $699.49 per year to own bats that sit in your garage, or get the best bats for less while keeping your money in your pocket?


The Smarter Way to Play

The bottom line? Owning bats outright is expensive and wasteful. Instead of dropping $400+ on a bat that you’ll outgrow or wear out, Bat Club USA gives you more flexibility, better pricing, and exclusive discounts on top gear.

Don’t waste money just to fill up your garage—join Bat Club USA today and start saving on the gear you actually use!
