We bought the -11 version; but it is good Chris parent
Pros: We got this bat in -11 for our son for his birthday; was hesitant about spending $100 but it was worth it. He was moving from a -13 reflex and the -11 version was the closest. We also went from 27 inch to 28 inch so we increased the weight by 3 oz. It has a good sweet spot and balance. He has hit about 50 pitches this past week and besides having to adjust to the added weight he is still driving the ball up the middle and just as far as his old reflex bat. The 2 5/8 barrel is also an adjustment but he seems to like it better than the 2 1/4. The 5150 is a good bat and you will not be disappointed.
Cons: None so far; just having to buy it and him having to move to a -11 instead of -13.
Good inexpensive alloy bat, but overweight. Joe Jackson with shoes parent
Pros: Solid bat, no sting, won't break the bank. Interesting sound, ear splitting at times.
Cons: Weight is 2 oz over claimed weight. 29" weighed in a bit over 21oz! Keeping it as a practice and "warm up" bat, but will also be purchasing a true -10 drop.
Happy 8U Customer Lou parent
Pros: This bat has some nice POP to it and a loud "ding" when hitting the sweet spot. My son loves it. He graduated from a 2 1/4 to this 2 5/8 Drop 10 and you can see the improvement. Great all around bat for the price!
Cons: The bat does vibrate but not so much that my son can't stand it.
This bat is a weapon average Joe parent
Pros: Going from a -13 to this -11 bat I think for us was the best case scenario. We haven't notice any drop off or swing speed. After his hitting lesson the Instructor had some concerns about the bat being 2 5/8 but we looked up on line and his response was that this bat was a weapon, and that he should have no problem driving the ball this season.
Cons: I am not sure the price is justified we tried to stay middle of the road he is only 9 seems silly to be spending that kind of money on a bat.
the sleeper 76south coach
Pros: don't sleep on this bat! My son rather use this than his ghost X. Has good pop out of the wrapper. Don't hide from the rules folks, just adapt! Our 9u team bought all the new usa baseball bats on sept. 1st 2017, and this one is the most popular. For 100 bucks you can't go wrong. We use the 28/18 which actually weighs about 20 ounces, but it's end loaded and provides some whip.
Cons: heavier than labeled, irratating sound
Great bat for the price! Kevin parent
Pros: made very well..awesome "ping" when hitting it true. My 9yo son just started using this bat and loves it. He moved up to 18oz so he has to start his swing just a second quicker but the ball flies well off of this bat. The color scheme is pretty cool on this bat and has a nice "tacky" handle.
Cons: none so so.
2018 Rawlings 5150 Carroll parent
Pros: Solid value bat, good pop.
Cons: Seems a little top heavy.
Great Pop RFL parent
Pros: I bought this bat for my 12 year old son. We went with the 31". Although its a bit smaller than he's using in AAU ball, we needed this to play out his final season in Little League. For the price, it has great pop. We have not used it in league play yet. But in the cages, you can tell it has great pop & hits with distance. He used it in the cage for soft toss. Ball after ball, the bat is loud. I would recommend this bat, if you're not looking to spend a ton of money. We liked it so much, we bought the same bat for our 8 year old son. He too has no problem showing, that it has a great solid pop to it.
Cons: If the ball gets hit at the tip of the bat, the vibration stings a bit. Nothing over the top, though. Just a little sting.
Great Pop for the price! RFL player
Pros: I bought this bat for my 12 yr old son, so he can play out his final season in Little League. The 31" is a tad small for my boy. He plays AAU and uses a 32" mako for that. For the price, this bat has a great solid pop to it. If using for soft toss in a cage, I will say this...Its loud. We liked it so much, I bought a 2nd one for my 8 yr old. He too has proven that it has great pop. I would recommend this bat, if you'e not looking to spend a ton of money. With us, my 12 yr old is in his last year at Little League and my 8 yr old uses the 29" inch. Later, the 31" will be used by our 8 yr old.
Cons: The only negative we found was, his hands stung a bit when the ball was hit at the tip of the bat. Other than that, no vibrations elsewhere.
Rawlings 5150 -10 USA Baseball Bat: US8510 Coach Dad coach
Pros: Nicely balanced bat. My 6 year old has a easy time with this.
Cons: Bat was fine in batting cages with soft balls. Had less pop than expected with the regulation hard balls.
2018 5150 Aaron S coach
Pros: Great Pop in the sweet spot. note it is a huge sweet spot.
Cons: will sting if you hit one off the inside, and is a little heavier that it says. feels like a end loaded bat.
bat is really a -7 Tim parent
Pros: no idea. my son couldnt swing it
Cons: ordered the 27/17 and it actually weighs 23 oz
Durability??? Baseball Dad player
Pros: Good balance - solid swings vs a couple other bats we tried.
Cons: 5 dents after the first use. The day after we bought it went to the school field with a couple friends (using official LL baseballs) and after about an hour we found 5 dents one big one right in the sweet spot.
Needed a bat with the new rules Don parent
Pros: It was the cheapest for a 9 year old.
Cons: Hasn't played enough to find any.
7/8yr old switch hitter loves it 27in/17oz jake Coach
Pros: Nice pop out the box. Looks good, feels good. The ball flys off this bat!! impressed. gives kids confidence when they see the ball coming off fast!! Durability - will see vibration: no complaints yet general feel,, NICE: but a lil heavy
Cons: its defiantly a little heavier than it says. Feels more like a drop 6-8 Kids will need to adjust if they are swinging a lite bat. The taped handle isn't the best. get some lizard skin with it or tape it up.
Good pop zuly Parent
Pros: It's not too heavy for a small just turned 7 year old. We practice 3 times a week at least 1 of those times in the cages and its done well so far but have only had it for about a month or so.
Cons: vibrates a bit if the ball doesn't hit he sweet spot
Heat Bat David Garza Parent
Pros: Real good pop
Cons: A Little heavier than what the bat says
Weight is WAY OFF Kerri Koker Parent
Pros: Not sure because my son can't use it
Cons: We bought this 27/17 because that is what my son (6) CURRENTLY had, but we needed one with the new USA Stamp. He complained pretty quickly that it is too heavy. I just weighed it, and its actually 20.1 oz Extremely disappointed!

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
