Louisville Slugger 2026 KRYO Thundernight -8 Softball Bat [Bat Size -8: 34 inch / 26 oz]

Something is brewing–and it’s bad news for the other team. The Limited Edition 2026 Louisville Slugger Kryo Thundernight (-8) fastpitch bat is engineered to help the game’s most dangerous power threats bring the thunder. A crackling violet pattern comes to life across the GO-EX1 Barrel System–a composite gapped wall design and internal disc system that works with the XPND End Cap to deliver unmatched feel, performance and sound. The VTX Connection System reduces vibration while maintaining the stiff feel power hitters demand, creating an ominously powerful bat designed to raise the hairs on the back of pitchers’ necks.
