The Rawlings Threat returns stronger than ever for 2026, built to give young athletes an ultra-lightweight bat that delivers big results. With a one-piece, all-composite construction, this bat provides a smooth, balanced swing feel that makes it easier for developing hitters to build confidence and consistency at the plate.
The extended barrel design is engineered with a finely tuned composite layup, creating low compression and a responsive trampoline effect for enhanced pop on contact. At a -12 drop weight, the Threat is one of the lightest USA-certified bats available, allowing players to generate faster swing speeds and better barrel control as they refine their mechanics.
Topped with a lightweight end cap to maintain balance, the 2026 Threat maximizes speed without sacrificing power. Finished in a bold purple, blue, and red colorway, this bat has the look to match its performance. Certified for all USA Baseball leagues—including Little League, Cal Ripken, Babe Ruth, Pony, AABC, and Dixie Youth—it’s tournament-ready right out of the wrapper.
Backed by a full 12-month manufacturer’s warranty, the Rawlings Threat -12 is the perfect bat for youth players who want lightning-fast swings, a forgiving sweet spot, and explosive performance in every at-bat.

OPTION GUIDE: Should I order this bat stock/untouched or Professionally Broken In?
Brand new baseball and softball bats need to be broken in before they perform to their full potential. Our ProMAX Break-In Service adds 20-40ft of extra distance to your solid hits, improves the durability and longevity of the bat and increases the consistency of your results on solid hits, as well. If you plan to use the bat in an official game or event, please verify the legality of our process with your league or sanctioning body before use. We (LongballBats.com) do not encourage the use of a professionally broken in bat in any game or event where it is against the rules. Click here for details about our process and if you're in a hurry, opt for our "Front of Line" service!
