Recently Dan Smith returned to the world of softball by teaming up with Proton not only on the field, but also in delivering softball players across the country the finest softball bats, gear, and equipment. Proton has recently started shipping out bats to their customers and the feedback has been phenomenal. Since the bats debut in Dallas, the performance and sound have been on display for all to see.

The Dan Smith/Proton Major Conference team has shook the softball world in amazement with their success so far this season. They have made it to the Championship Game in 4 of the 5 tournaments they have played this season with three 2nd place tournament finishes and a tournament championship win at the Windy City Major on June 3rd.
Dan Smith/Proton has now amassed a 26-8 record with just talent. The team chemistry is top tier and each guy plays the game the right way and understands their role. These guys really do see the bigger picture when battling on the field. As they say, teamwork makes the dream work and that is exactly what’s happening. The legend Dan Smith saw Proton’s vision and took a liking into it so much that they have merged with Proton for the rest of the 2021 season. This is great news for the softball world.
