Jeremy Fry already has one signature bat in the Worth lineup, and the Silverback XLT gives him a second with a very different personality! The 2026 Worth Jeremy Fry Signature Silverback XLT, model WSU6JFSB1L, is a one-piece composite USSSA bat with a compact 12 inch barrel and Worth’s X868 barrel technology. It also has a stiff S-FLEX handle and the XLT end load at three-quarters of an ounce. It’s built for strong, aggressive hitters who want a stiff, direct swing with real weight behind the ball. The look is clean (and a little old school!) The bat is silver from knob to cap, with big black Silverback lettering on one side, a bold Worth logo on the other, and Fry’s signature on the taper. If you want Fry’s original signature setup, the Worth Krecher XL Jeremy Fry pairs a lighter half ounce load with a longer 12.75 inch barrel. For a full ounce on a 12 inch barrel, look at the Worth Bedlam Josh Riley XXL.
Every part of this bat pushes in the same direction. The XLT Load puts .75 ounces toward the end of the bat. That’s more than Worth’s XL Load and less than its full ounce XXL, so you get serious force on contact without the heaviest swing in the lineup. Pairing that load with a 12 inch barrel keeps the bat compact and quick to the ball, which helps the extra end weight stay manageable. Worth’s X868 barrel uses optimized barrel flex technology for better energy transfer and less vibration at contact. The one-piece build and S-FLEX handle, which Worth describes as stiffer, send more of your swing straight into the ball with very little give. That stiff, connected feel is what power hitters look for, though you’ll feel it when you miss the sweet spot. The barrel is 2-1/4 inches. The bat is approved for USSSA, NSA, and ISA play, and it is not approved for USA Softball (ASA) or SSUSA senior play. It comes in 34 inches at 25, 26, and 27 ounces, with Worth’s one year warranty.

QUESTION: Should I order this bat stock/untouched or Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure?
ANSWER: If you order your new bat Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure, it will be delivered to you completely and evenly broken in. This process adds 20-40ft of distance to your solid hits, increases consistency, improves durability and adds 2-3 business days of lead time to your order. 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 Heat Rolled bat in any game or event where it is against the rules. Click here for details about our process!
QUESTION: Should I get the Silverback XLT or the Krecher XL?
ANSWER: Both are Jeremy Fry signature bats from Worth, and both are one-piece USSSA bats with the X868 barrel. After that, they go in different directions. The Krecher XL has a 12.75 inch barrel, Worth’s half ounce XL Load, and an R-Flex handle. Between the longer barrel and the lighter load, it’s the easier swinging of the two. The Silverback XLT shortens the barrel to 12 inches, bumps the load to three-quarters of an ounce, and uses the S-FLEX handle, which Worth describes as stiffer. It’s built for hitters who want more weight behind the ball and a firmer, more direct swing. If you want more barrel and a lighter feel, go with the Krecher. If you’re a strong hitter who squares the ball up often, the Silverback is the pick.
QUESTION: What does XLT mean on a Worth bat?
ANSWER: It’s Worth’s name for a three-quarter ounce end load. Worth’s end-loaded USSSA bats come in three load levels. The XL Load puts half an ounce toward the end of the bat, the XLT puts three-quarters of an ounce there, and the XXL puts a full ounce. So the XLT sits right in the middle. It gives you more push behind the ball than an XL without asking for the bat speed an XXL demands. On the Silverback, Worth pairs it with a 12 inch barrel, which keeps the swing compact and helps that extra weight stay under control.
QUESTION: Who should swing a 12 inch one-piece with an XLT load?
ANSWER: Strong, confident hitters who are already on time. A 12 inch barrel gives you less hitting surface than a 13, so it rewards players who find the barrel consistently. The three-quarter ounce load adds mass behind the ball, and the stiff one-piece frame sends almost all of your swing into it. When you square one up, that combination produces a lot of carry. When you miss, the stiff build lets you know. If you get jammed often or you’re still working on consistent contact, a longer barrel or a two-piece bat will treat you better. If you hit in the middle of the order and want more pop, the Silverback deserves a hard look.
QUESTION: Where can I use the Silverback XLT?
ANSWER: Worth lists it as approved for USSSA, NSA, and ISA play, which covers most weekend tournament ball. It isn’t certified for USA Softball (ASA), so leagues that play under USA Softball rules won’t allow it. It isn’t a senior bat for SSUSA events either. If you play in more than one association, check each league’s bat rules before game day. Want some help? Send us your schedule, and we’ll help you check!
