🔥 BIG NEWS, UTAH BASEBALL FAMILIES! 🔥

We're incredibly excited to announce that The Sports Connection has been selected as an official Rawlings Bat Drop location for Utah!

That means some of the most anticipated and exclusive Rawlings releases will be available right here in Herriman—and we're kicking things off with the stunning 2027 Rawlings ICON "Iconfest" Limited Edition Bat.

💥 What makes the Iconfest special?
⚾ Limited-edition nationwide release
⚾ Exclusive custom artwork and colorway inspired by music festival vibes
⚾ Features the game-changing ICON composite technology that has become one of the hottest bats in youth baseball
⚾ Available in limited quantities and once they're gone, they're gone
⚾ Designed for players who want elite performance and a bat that stands out from every other bat in the dugout

The "Heroes Get Remembered, But Icons Never Die" design makes this one of the most unique bat drops Rawlings has ever produced, and we're honored to be one of the select locations trusted to bring it to Utah players first.

Stop by the store to see it in person, snap a photo, and check out one of the most talked-about bats of the year before they're gone.
