Description

Mizuno baseball bats are some of the most underrated in the game, without a doubt. With over 100 years of experience in creating high-performing sporting goods equipment, Mizuno has a passion unlike any other in the industry. They have exceeded expectations, yet again, with the release of the Ghost baseball series! As a two-piece, fully composite bat, the Ghost is ready to scare away the competition. Mizuno uses their Black Onyx Barrel combined with the Power Ring Technology to help create hot out of the wrapper performance with zero break-in swings required. You can take this model out of the box directly to the diamond without the worry of poor performance. The Black Onyx Barrel is connected to the stiff carbon composite handle which significantly reduces sting in the hands while providing an unbelievably smooth feel on contact, regardless of where you hit the barrel. As if it didn't sound exceptional already, the stiff carbon handle helps reduce energy loss during fast pitch speeds to put more energy where it belongs (the ball) and less where it doesn't (your hands). Mizuno: Driven By Athletes. Crafted To Win!

This Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB18GHST) features drop 3 length to weight ratio, a 2 5/8-inch barrel diameter, and the BBCOR certification for NCAA and NFHS approval. Haunt every pitcher at the plate and order one of these Mizuno Ghost bats today with free shipping and a full one (1) year manufacturer's warranty. Don't forget, we'll be here from click to hit!

Biggest barrel in baseball SAFTB player

Pros: Seriously, the barrel on the Ghost is HUGE. I'd argue it's bigger than the MAXUM. I like the 'Speed-Helix Grip." It's pretty thin but it's comfortable.

Cons: I've noticed some sting and while it says balanced, there is definitely a slight load to this bat.

Awesome pop!! Proud Parents parent

Pros: This bat has awesome pop. The big barrel gives more range throughout strike zone as well as giving my son a well needed confidence boost after being in a hitting slump. He's now hitting over .500. He loves the sound off the bat and has noticed little to no vibration when hits go off the end of the bat

Cons: everyone wants to use it!!

Have a question about the Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Will this bat come in a 32"/29 oz? downtown
Yes, this 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB18GHST) will be available in the 32"/29 oz size later this fall of 2017.
Ben
Will it come in a 31-28? Dad
Unfortunately, it does not appear that the 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST will be made in a 31" 28 oz. The smallest size will be a 32" 29 oz.
Jason
What is the break in swing minimum limit off the tee prior to 1st use? mom
The 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB18GHST) features the Black Onyx Barrel that is paired up with the Power Ring technology to make the bat game-ready right out of the wrapper.
John
Are composites easy to break in? Is there a certain way to break in a composite? Which bat do you recommend, this bat or the 2018 Combat Maxum BBCOR? More? Slugger
The 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST may require a break-in period. If you feel your bat is not at optimal performance out of the wrapper, we recommend about 50 swings either off of a tee or by soft toss with a ¼" rotation of the barrel after each swing. The difference between this bat and the Combat Maxum is the construction. The 2018 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: AB8MX103 is a one-piece composite while the 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST is a two-piece composite. The Mizuno might generate more whip in your swing and reduce some of the vibration with that design.
Dan
Do you have this bat in the 30 inch -10? Danielle
We do not have this bat in that size as it is a BBCOR model. All BBCOR models are -3 in drop and used for high school and college play. We are currently out of stock in the 2018 Mizuno Ghost -10 (YBB18GHST10) and are not expecting to receive the next shipment of those from Mizuno until late March/early April.

My kid is moving up to BBCOR from 12u ball. He used a Mizuno Ghost USA Bat for Cal Ripken 12u. While it had good pop on the sweet spot, the surrounding areas sounded hollow and it actually wound up cracking. Does this have similar flaws as the USA model? Will
It would be tough to speak directly to the flaws that you are referring to, but the 2018 Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST will have a very similar construction to the smaller USA version. The benefit that this model will have is the additional weight the -3 offers, so that potential could help with the overall durability.
Tyler
Has there been any durability issues with this bat? Also, do you think it has good durability if you use it in 60 degrees and above weather? How balance is this bat? Q
We have not heard anything regarding the Mizuno Ghost BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB18GHST with regards to durability issues. As for the weather, the warmer the better with any bat. The swing weight feel on this bat, although listed as balanced, tends to feel a little more slightly end-loaded.
