If she is talented enough to do all that at 8U, she needs an agent and NIL deals. A good agent should be able to snag a once in a lifetime talent such as yours a deal with Easton, DeMarini or Louisville and leave your broken bat worries behind. How has BC not scooped this player up yet?

Now that the nonsense is out of the way, buy the DSG warranty when you buy the bat. You will save yourself a boatload of money “when she breaks the bat”. If you buy an illegal bat and it breaks while she is using it, you place the team in a position the organization and parents likely won’t want to be involved with. Also buy a practice bat for cage work, tee work and team practice. If she is a fan of the Ghost, there is a much cheaper alternative that has nearly identical weight and balance characteristics as well as ball reactions off the bat. It’s called Rocketech by Anderson. The company is on the west coast and their warranty coverage basically works like this, email him proof of purchase even if an online purchase with pictures of the damaged bat. Within a week you get the replacement bat. No mailing him the broken bat then waiting for a response. We went through several over the years and I only paid once. Great customer service. Good luck you’ve got a long drive ahead of you.
