## Caption

It's live. Four winners, and we're not judging how hard you hit the ball.

🏆 What you win:

Grand prize is the 2027 Easton Hype Fire.

Second, third and fourth place each get a $100 Easton gift card.

🎯 How a winner is picked

⭢ This is a contest of skill, not a random drawing. Every entry gets scored on four things:

⭢ Hype and energy. Creativity. Video and editing. And engagement, measured against your own follower count, so a smaller account isn't at a disadvantage.

⭢ None of that rewards how hard you hit it. The best few seconds win, whether you're 10 or 15.

✅ How to enter

Film it at a USSSA sanctioned event between August 20 and August 30, post it as a public Reel, use #USSSABringTheHype, and tag usssabaseball, playusssa and eastonbaseball in the caption.

Two ways to do it. Pick one.

Answer one of our questions on camera.

Or show us a celebration.

You don’t need the bat. The dugout after a walk off. Your handshake. A play. Your team going crazy.

⚾ What does your dream bat look like?

⚾ What’s the first thing you do when you get a new bat?

⚾ What makes a bat feel right to you?

Answer one. Say it your way.

One entry each. Keep it public through September 2. Under 13, enter from a parent's account.

To be clear, you don't need the bat to enter. You need a highlight from a USSSA event. The bat is the prize.

📆 Closes Sunday, August 30 at 11:59 PM CT. Winners announced September 2.
