Pros: The bat has a great feel to it. The handle is rather small but when you get the barrel out in front, the ball just jumps off the thing. Keep your head down and drive with this bad boy!! Great Price!

Lou
Pros: Great bat, very light and great price. When you hit the ball on barrel it jumps off the bat. Most bats break if the pitch is inside. Off the end of the bat ball will still go.

Pros: A good wood bat for the price.
Cons: This is not a true pro stock baseball bat. Whatever loiosvile slugger says about the wood is not true. I have swung a real pro stock loiusville slugger and the wood is so much better!

Pros: Amazing bat. I had the white/yellow colored one. This has great pop and you cant even feel the ball when you hit the sweet spot. This bat lasted a long time and it has a very smooth grip. Put a little bit of pine tar and use label up and you'll have this bat for a long time!
Cons: ZERO

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
