RARE FIND: here at Longball Bats, we take pride in having a huge selection of baseball and softball bats - including hard to find bats like this one! Sold out most everywhere else, this bat is still available here at LBB - while it lasts! 

The Racer got the road course and the Stang got the drag strip. The Baja got the desert! Combat's third Performance collection Spec A1 is its ode to sun-drenched days, burnt rubber, and kicking up dust on an open run through the sand, and it wears that attitude on a black base with red, orange, and white accents that look like they were painted by headlights at dusk. The best part is the message at the top of the barrel: "See You at the Finish Line." It's aimed at the catcher, who's going to be reading it while you trot around the bases. Combat sold the Baja as a limited edition with a two-per-customer cap, it sold out at the manufacturer, and it hasn't come back. That's why it's in our Rare Finds section at LongballBats.com, brand new and in the wrapper, in a few sizes while they last.

The desert livery is the fun part. The Spec A1 is the serious part. Combat built the Performance collection on its flagship one-piece alloy, the bat it calls the front of the BBCOR pack, and the Baja carries the full build. SFX Barrel Technology uses special engineering processes to create a longer barrel and a bigger sweet spot than any other one-piece alloy, so more of the bat produces hard contact and a ball off the end still gets out of the infield. It swings balanced, which keeps a one-piece alloy quick through the zone without sacrificing any barrel performance, and Combat tuned the stiffness to hit with the direct feel of a one-piece and forgive like a two-piece on a jam shot. The Clinch Spec Grip is pre-loaded with extra tack and just the right amount of cushion. And the sound at contact is the same head-turning thwack that has hitters barreling balls up just to hear it again. Because the Baja is black with red, orange, and white accents rather than a solid orange barrel, it's approved for NCAA and NJCAA play alongside NFHS, so a college hitter can run it too.

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 order this bat with Free Shipping or Upgraded Shipping?
ANSWER: It just depends on how quickly you need it. This RARE FIND Bat is ready to ship and will generally ship same day if ordered before 1PM EST. 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.

QUESTION: What are the three Performance collection Spec A1 bats, and how do they differ?
ANSWER: Combat's 2025 Performance collection launched with three motorsports-inspired Spec A1 colorways: the powder blue and orange "Racer," the candy-apple red "Stang," and the black, red, orange, and white "Baja." Each was a limited edition, each came in 31, 32, 33, 33.5, and 34 inch lengths, and each is built identically with SFX Barrel Technology, a balanced swing weight, and the Clinch Spec Grip. They swing and hit the same, so the choice is which kind of racing you'd rather be doing. We stock all three in Rare Finds when we can get them.

QUESTION: What does "See You at the Finish Line" mean on the Baja?
ANSWER: It's trash talk with a smile. Combat describes the Baja as its tribute to sun-drenched days and open-road competition, and the message at the top of the barrel is what you'd say to the guy who's about to be behind you. In baseball terms, it's a note to the catcher: enjoy the view, I'll be back at the plate shortly. Combat's own messaging says it's no use trying to keep up with this bat, but your opponents can take comfort in knowing you're beating them with style.

QUESTION: Is the Baja balanced, and is it legal for college?
ANSWER: Yes on both. Combat lists the Baja with a balanced swing weight, the same as every Spec A1, so it swings quick with a big barrel that doesn't feel heavy out front. And it's BBCOR .50 certified for NFHS high school, NCAA, and NJCAA play. The college bat color restriction that limits Combat's orange Rodeo "Greatest Show on Dirt" to high school only doesn't apply here, because the Baja's orange is an accent on a black base, not the barrel color. As always, confirm with your league or conference before game day.
