Description

Louisville Slugger Meta -5 USSSA Baseball Bat (WBL2846010)

Grab this Louisville Slugger Meta -5 USSSA Baseball Bat and use its hefty 2 3/4" barrel to deliver game-changing hits!

Bat Benefits

The Louisville Slugger Meta is back with a new iteration, determined to prove itself as a top choice in USSSA baseball once again!

This gold and black Meta boasts a three-piece, all-composite design, inheriting advanced features from previous Meta models while introducing some exciting innovations. Notably, it incorporates an EKO Composite Gapped Wall barrel, featuring a unique combination of a low-compression outer wall and a stiff inner wall. This technology enhances performance and power, catering to players of various swing speeds.

To minimize discomfort from sting and vibration upon contact, Louisville Slugger integrates their VCX2 Connection System, which works in synergy with the EKO Composite Gapped barrel, efficiently facilitating the transfer of energy from bat to ball.

It is important to note that Louisville Slugger is releasing two versions of the -5 Meta's this year - with the barrel diameter being the only difference.  This specific model will carry the larger 2 3/4" diameter, giving travel ball players an extensive hitting surface so they can attack the ball with confidence!

Warranty

The high-powered bats of Louisville Slugger are backed by a twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty! If you have bought this bat from us and noticed that there is an issue on it before 12 months have passed from the purchase, please reach out to our Bat Experts.

What’s the difference between the 2024 gold meta and the 2024 white ltd meta? Are the barrels different? The 2024 white meta says it’s a single linear barrel so is that different than the 2024 gold meta barrel, which says it’s a dual gapped wall barrel? LP

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.
