Athlete Select Beta is live

Independent, fit-first matching for baseball and fastpitch softball bats and gloves.

Beta

Athlete Select Beta launched for baseball and fastpitch equipment matching

Athlete Select Beta is publicly available for baseball and fastpitch softball bats and gloves. Each finder asks only the fit questions its equipment type needs, then returns verified size guidance and product matches with the reasoning in plain English.

What is deliberately in the build: season-versioned USSSA legality including age-group drop restrictions, documented sizing and fit rules, exact product records, a Keep Current Equipment outcome, and honest gap states instead of guesses.

What is not in the build yet: connected retailer pricing. Until a verified feed is live, no price or availability is shown for any bat. Email delivery is also not switched on, so signup is early access only.

Beta means the matching rules are frozen except for genuine defects, legality changes and exact-variant corrections — and that your feedback is the fastest way to get something fixed.

Athlete Select is in beta for USSSA youth baseball bats. Recommendations are live and deterministic, and they keep improving as parents and coaches tell us what actually worked. Always confirm bat rules with your league or tournament before you buy.

Release notes

  • beta-2026.08.31 — public beta: bat matcher, in-product feedback and problem reporting, optional early-access signup, refreshed Privacy, Terms and Affiliate Disclosure (policy 2026-08-31-2).
  • Catalog — verified exact variants only. A family with no verified size in your lane is shown as a gap rather than filled in with an assumption.

Early access signup

Optional, and completely separate from your athlete’s answers. You never need an email address to get a match — this is only if you want to hear from us later. Email delivery isn’t connected yet, so we can’t promise an alert today.

What would you like?

Both boxes start unchecked on purpose. We store your address, which consents you gave and when — nothing about your athlete. Ask us to remove it and we delete the record.
