I'm just getting back into coaching after being away for about 5 years, and I'm wondering what is the best bat out there right now? I've heard some people really like the Stealth, but haven't heard a lot. What are your opinions?

Welcome HS_BB_Coach!
What age group are you working with?
There is also a lot of discussion on bats in the "Players" forum...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm the head high school varsity coach.
Most of the top of the line bats are good as you will find out they are around $350+.
The Easton two piece Stealths have a different feel and balance than like the one piece TPX type bats. The composite Stealth has a lot of pop to it but some do not like the sound of it (more of a thud) compared to the Louisville EXOgrid bats which sound like a cannon.
In high school, we had always used the Louisville bats but the last year were they got a hold of a Stealth Composite; hard hits and homeruns came very easily. So he got used to the sound for the success...Good thing he is going to a college which has a Easton contract and is getting the use of Stealths provided by the college....
