The product, in the report: Baseball bat for high school, model Easton Project 3 ADV Bat. Two piece composite handle bat.
My son was using a brand new bat made by Easton in a baseball game (Easton Project 3 ADV model). It was the first time using this bat in a game and had only been used in two practices before this game. The bat is a two-piece bat, meaning it has a handle made of carbon fiber and a barrel made of metal. The connection between the barrel and the handle is covered by a red piece of plastic.
My son swung the bat at a pitch that hit exactly on the red connecting piece of plastic. This plastic is an odd shape and has an angle that is not seen on other bats. The ball ricocheted off the plastic and into my sons eye, which was permanently damaged.
The umpire, coach, players and my self with 30 years of experience have never seen a simple foul ball fly into the batter’s face before. The fact this ball hit directly on the red attachment suggests strongly that the odd angle of this attachment is a contributor into this awful injury.
Because of basic physics this bat design is suspect and I am dubious after this accident that this product has been tested for safety or if it was it was likely ignored by the bat company.
I have the ball mark from the brand new game ball (my son was the second batter) directly on the red plastic connector I mentioned above and I have a video of the incident.
