Miken was founded in 1998. Miken is a company, which manufactures team sports equipment. The company is famous for its baseball and softball bats. The company considers its products to be popular because of the performance level and the durability that they deliver. The company only manufactures a high-end range of sports equipment. Miken is also into the production of softballs, baseballs, batting gloves, fielding gloves, and equipment bags.

Freak Plus and Freak 98 are names given to the series of slowpitch softball bats launched by Miken. The Freak 98 made its appearance first, followed by the Freak Plus, and subsequently many other softball bat series. The Freak 98, as the name suggests, actually can push the ball up to 98 miles per hour. This is because of the strength given to the bat with the incorporation of E-Flex technology. The bat has the length of 34 inches and the weight varies between 26 to 30 pounds. These dimensions and weight of the bat propel the ball at greater velocities. The upgraded version of the Freak 98 is called the Freak Plus. The Freak Plus is better designed, stronger, and more flexible than the Freak 98. The technology of E-Flex has also been improved.

The NRG 600 Max is the new range of softball bats that is introduced by Miken. The bat has a two-tone color finish and a synthetic leather grip. It has a thin handle which is widely preferred.
