Pros: I bought this bat as a joke I got it in a 35 I completely expected a massive batting practice bat but due to the amazing balance it feels lighter than most 32s
Cons: None
Pros: -Beatiful piece of wood, hard to find the alleged blemish. -35 inch available
Cons: -None, great bargain for a bat of that quality.
Pros: Feels great when you swing it, a good power bat. Very low price for what it's worth. I highly recommend it for the big guys.
Cons: Nothing in my book.
Pros: I bought a 34 and a 35...... 34 is AWESOME..... Great piece of lumber for the price..... Wish I had two OR the 35" was at least the same
Cons: The 35 on the other hand was a skinny badly cupped 35"
Pros: Very good bats actually. Got 2 34. One feels like a -3 the other is a lot heavier. Guessing about a -1. You can't see the blemishes at all. I will buy again.
Cons: Just didn't like that they are labeled BLEM on the barrel. I removed it real easy. No one could tell
Pros: This bat is solid had two players use this bat in the tunnel hitting off the Hack Attack machine throwing around 85 to 90mph. No sign of damage. The bat looks good other than the slight stamp that says BLEM. I bought the Two Pack. Both bats had down in the handle area a small burnt mark. If they are calling this a BLEM for that reason I would buy this bat all day long.
Cons: None
Pros: Solid grain No obvious blemishes
Cons: i didn't mind this but i did receive one BIRCH bat(maybe it was mislabeled as birch and that is why its a blem) and 2 maple, not the 3 maple specified One bat had a very large knob and taper on the handle The bats were unfinished, so i had to finish them myself.
Pros: Bat is heavy and handles itself. Place the barrel on the ball and it flies! Great bat to use in practice especially for the low price. I'm constantly coming back to get more! Plus has a great sound.
Cons: Sadly, since they are Blemish bats they aren't really "complete", so far I have bought 4 of these and 2 of them broke completely in half on hits that an expensive wood bat wouldn't break on. Honestly really love these bats, just wouldn't personally recommend they be used in game as they seem a little fragile from my experiences.
Pros: Simply beautiful piece of maple. LOVE the sound of a sweet spot hit. I bought two, cut one down 2" for my 14U son. Was easy to re-bevel and round the end and with some work was able to cup the barrel--pretty much impossible to tell it was modified. Stained and poly'd for a custom look.
Cons: The bats come naked. We took one out to hit before any stain or poly and with no finish the bat had some wear from ball seams. I would suggest some sort of finish prior to use.
Pros: First time using the set my grandson hit 3 hits. a double , a triple and a single. Couldn't ask for more.
Cons: no bat tape included

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.
