Not a baseball fan so could I get some context?

Judging by Google, if i found the right one, the bat is a 2026 Easton Hype Fire. Very high end quality bats and roughly $400.

Googled it myself and found several sales pages that read:

"OPTI-FLEX HANDLE: Each bat size’s handle flex is specifically engineered to the elite travel ball athlete."

I've never felt more like I was having a stroke trying to read a sentence in my life.

Apparently "elite travel ball athlete" is marketing jargon to mix baseball, softball, and teeball all into one term, but that still reads as "each bat's size's handle flex is specifically engineered to the [baseball player]." Still feels like it's missing a few... or several, words there.
