Louisville Slugger X12 Melissa player
Pros: I LOVE THIS BAT. My teammates with the XENO are starting to use this bat instead of their own. It looks great and has amazing pop for cheaper than other bats. The grip is super comfy too.
Cons: It only comes in a -12 and I usually use a -11.
love this bat Steven Aguilar parent
Pros: My daughter loves her bew bat. Her team mates started using her bat when they saw how much pop it has. Well balanced, comfy grip and she loves the feel and design of this bat.
Cons: nothing bad to say about this bat at this time.
Daughter loves the X12 Joe parent
Pros: This is her 1st composite bat and her confidence has soared. Doesn't have the same pop as the Demarini but it is not $350 either. Seems to be a really good bat for the money. 10 U.
Cons: Little early to comment on the durability. That is the only question remaining

daughter is a short 14 yr. old. A friend has a -12 bat that she likes is this a good fit. Do not know the weight or length. Need suggestions. Miles
Is there a huge difference between a 32" and a 33" length bat?? I've only used a 33" and I really like this bat but there's no 33"... when is the next 33"order in? Abigail softball
My daughter is 14U and smaller and not a power hitter, but can usually make contact. She is currently using a 30" 19 oz bat. She is having troubles with the outside corner. Do you recommend another inch or 2? If she adds 2 inches and another ounce, is that a big jump? She typically hits center to right center now that pitching is faster. J
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.
