Used 2012 Easton Amethyst Fastpitch Softball Bat | USSSA | Drop -11, 31in/20oz | FP18AMY
The Easton Amethyst is a staple for fastpitch players looking for a durable, lightweight, and responsive swing. At Dugout Pros, we often recommend this model for developing hitters in the Connecticut softball community who need a reliable alloy bat that offers a massive sweet spot. Crafted from ALX50 military-grade aluminum, the Amethyst is built to last while providing a light swing weight that helps increase bat speed. This 31-inch, -11 model is perfect for players transitioning into competitive play who want a balanced feel and consistent performance every time they step into the box.

The Lab
BPR (Barrel Performance Rating): 4/5
Rating Name: High Output
The ALX50 alloy barrel on this Amethyst is in excellent shape. It passed our Lab compression testing, confirming that the aluminum remains responsive and ready to deliver consistent pop for the upcoming season.
BCR (Barrel Condition Rating): 4/5
Rating Name: Excellent
This bat is in great cosmetic condition. While it shows some light surface scuffs from standard play, the paint and graphics are remarkably preserved. No dents, cracks, or flat spots were found during our inspection.
BGR (Bat Grip Rating): 3/5
Rating Name: Standard / Seasoned
The original cushioned All-Sports grip is intact and functional. It shows typical "seasoning" but still provides a comfortable, tacky feel for secure hand placement.
OBR (Overall Bat Rating): 8.2/10
Rating Name: Excellent
This Easton Amethyst carries an 8.2/10 OBR, placing it in our Excellent category. This rating is the result of its High Output performance paired with a very clean exterior. This is a top-tier value for a player looking for a "like-new" performance experience and a clean aesthetic without the premium price of a brand-new alloy bat.
Pro-Tip: Because this is a one-piece alloy bat, it is "hot out of the wrapper" and does not require a break-in period. It's also much more durable in colder weather than composite bats, making it a great choice for early spring doubleheaders in New England!
