Worth Bedlam Josh Riley XL

The 2026 Worth Bedlam Josh Riley XL is a semi-flex two-piece USSSA bat with slight end load and a 12.5" barrel — Josh Riley's signature configuration within the Bedlam family, built around a lively, dynamic feel that makes the slight load accessible rather than demanding. The semi-flex hinge loads and releases at launch with noticeable snap, helping the barrel accelerate through the zone in a way that suits contact hitters who prefer the active feel of a flexible design over the locked-in directness of a one-piece. The 12.5" contact window keeps the barrel honest — it doesn't paper over timing mistakes, but it gives enough margin that near-miss contact stays in play rather than dying on impact. The slight end load delivers real carry on flush hits, making it a natural step up for players who've been on balanced designs and want more punch without a significant adjustment period. The player edition finish earns a strong visual rating that matches its on-field reputation. For USSSA contact-power hitters who want a flexible, snappy two-piece with slight added punch and a signature look, the Josh Riley XL is a well-balanced choice within the Bedlam lineup.
