The DeMarini Bustos is an elite, youth fastpitch softball bat that offers both a responsive barrel, and super comfortable handle. This is a half-and-half model built with X12 alloy to provide industry leading performance and results, while eliminating negative vibrations and hand sting normally felt with an alloy bat due to the handle’s composite design. This composite handle also utilizes DeMarini’s Paradox Composite technology for hot out of the wrapper results and improved responsiveness.
