The Easton ADV 360 was a popular USA bat, but Easton no longer makes it. The ADV line moved to the ADV Hype, and Easton's current two-piece composite for youth is the Hype Fire. If you came here looking for an ADV 360, this guide covers what replaced it and the best bats to buy in its place. Last updated October 2026.
What happened to the ADV 360
The ADV 360 was a two-piece composite USA bat. Easton replaced it with the ADV Hype, and then the Hype Fire took over as Easton's main composite youth bat. You may still find leftover ADV 360 stock on clearance, but it is an older model, and we would rather point you to a current bat with a full warranty.

Closest replacement: Easton Hype Fire USA
If your kid liked the ADV 360, start here. The 2027 Hype Fire USA is a two-piece composite from Easton, like the ADV 360 was. Easton offers it in -11, -10, -8, and -5, so it covers the same age range.








The 2027 Easton Hype Fire USA is a two-piece, all-composite USA Baseball bat with a balanced, low-MOI swing and a 2 5/8-inch barrel. The 3D Ropecell Composite barrel wraps 360 degrees to expand the sweet spot, and the ConneXion Max elastomer connector joins barrel and handle to cut hand sting. It also has an Opti-Flex handle, a Power Boost Soft Knob for bottom-hand leverage and a Flow-Tack grip. Available in -11, -10, -8 and -5 drops, lengths 27-32 in, in the Thermal Fade colorway. Easton backs it with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
For younger or travel ball kids: Hype Fire JBB
The Hype Fire JBB is a one-piece composite USSSA junior big barrel in -10, in 25 to 27 inches. It is for younger travel ball players, not USA leagues. More options are in our junior big barrel guide.






The 2027 Easton Hype Fire Junior Big Barrel is a one-piece composite USSSA bat with a lightweight, balanced swing, a -10 drop and a 2 3/4-inch barrel. It uses Thermo Composite Technology (TCT) for a bigger sweet spot and a 2.2mm Flex Grip for comfort and control. It is built for coach pitch or machine pitch (typically ages 5-7) and is not recommended for pitches above 40-45 mph. Sizes 25-27 in, Blackout Blaze colorway, USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp, 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

If you want to skip break-in or play a lot of cold games, this one-piece alloy is the safer choice.

Available in -11 and -5 drops, lengths 26-32 in. Approved for AABC, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Little League, Pony and NABF play, with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
How to choose
- Liked the ADV 360's feel: go Hype Fire USA.
- Plays in cold weather or hates break-in: go alloy, like the Atlas 2.0.
- Moving to travel ball: check if the league uses USSSA, and look at the best USSSA bats.
How we picked: we confirmed the ADV 360 is no longer in Easton's lineup, then picked current, in-stock USA bats with similar builds. Specs are from the manufacturers' pages. We did not hit with these bats.
