Step into the box knowing the work you’ve put in will shine under the lights with the 2025 COMBAT MFG Midnight Rodeo Spec A1 “Work to Shine” BBCOR Bat. Built for players who grind when nobody’s watching, this limited-edition drop -3 alloy bat is one of only 5,000 individually numbered models, each carrying the reminder etched on the barrel: “Work in the dark to shine in the light.”
Engineered with SFX Barrel Technology, the Midnight Rodeo offers a longer barrel and one of the biggest sweet spots in any one-piece alloy design. This means more consistent contact, explosive pop, and confidence on every swing. Its balanced swing weight gives hitters the speed to attack pitches while maintaining serious power through the zone.
The flex-and-forgiveness profile blends the stiffness of a one-piece with the forgiveness of a two-piece, making it versatile for a wide range of hitters. A pre-loaded Clinch Spec Grip adds tack and cushion for supreme comfort, while the signature “Midnight Thwack” sound on contact delivers instant feedback that both players and fans will love.
Finished in the striking Midnight Rodeo theme, the “Work to Shine” edition is built for ballplayers who embrace sacrifice, preparation, and the grind that greatness demands. With top-tier performance, standout style, and limited-edition exclusivity, this bat is ready to turn late-night work into game-day dominance.

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!

Our free shipping method is just the cheapest method available to your address, which is usually a 2-6 day transit time but is NOT guaranteed. The upgrade options specify their transit times. UPS 2 Day Air and/or UPS Next Day Air are popular options for customers needing a bat quickly.
QUESTION: Why is this bat priced higher than retail?
ANSWER: Since limited edition and highly sought after bats are often are next to impossible to get, there are times that we're willing to pay higher than retail prices for them in the secondary market so that we're able to make them available to our customers. Many customers value performance and convenience over price, so our "RARE FIND" inventory is purchased with this in mind.
