ABOUT THE COACH
For over 30 years, I have coached competitive Travel (9U, 10U, 12U, 14U) and High School fastpitch softball teams, with a long-standing focus on player development and equipment selection. Throughout that time, choosing the right bat — not the most marketed one — has been a consistent factor in player confidence and performance.
CoachKnowsFastpitch.com was created to provide clear, independent evaluations of fastpitch softball bats and related equipment, based on real-world use, coaching experience, and practical performance criteria — not sponsorships or paid endorsements.
Specifically, I created a review methodology consisting of a 7 criteria analysis of Fastpitch Softball Bats. Each bat review on this site follows the same evaluation framework to ensure consistency, fairness, and real-world relevance.
7 Criteria
Power & Exit Velocity
Bat Swing Speed & Control
Sweet Spot & Mis-Hits
Feel & Vibration Control
Break-in Period
Durability & Bat Fatigue

Bottom Line
This site is designed for Players, Parents and Coaches who want straightforward explanations, honest comparisons, and equipment guidance that prioritizes on-field results over hype.
All opinions on this site are my own and reflect personal coaching experience and evaluation.
