I'm shopping for a player who is 4'8" & 91 lbs. What size would you recommend? Also, do you know the true weight of this bat yet? the legendary Deuce
Does this bat have a good pop to it as far as sound? We are having trouble finding a good USA labeled bat. We purchased one and it sounds dead as a door-nail. #baseballfamily
Does the bat have to be broken in? dj
My son is 5 years old, 4 ft tall and 65lbs. He is currently using the ghost x hyperlite and loves it, but going into all stars, he needs a USA approved bat. Would this bat be a good option for him? CG
My son is 45 inches tall. He currently has two 27 inch bats that he likes (-13 and -10), but neither is USA approved. Will the Rawlings Threat 28 inch bat be appropriate for him? I wasn't sure if it would be too long, or if 1 inch would make a huge difference? bosox
My son used his bat last night at practice before breaking it in. Is that a problem? Is it okay to still go ahead and break it in? Bry
My son is 9 years old, 4'6 inches tall, and weighs 71 lbs. He was using a 29'' during the regular season and a 30'' during the summer. Tables online say he should use a 30'', but coaches commented that 30 looked too big. Should we go back to a 29? GV
What's the best way to break in a Rawlings Threat? Should my husband break it in or my son? We were worried we would mess up his swing speed if he changes it to break in bat? Should we do it off of the tee or can the bat be hit at regular speed? Just want top make sure we break it in right. Baseball mom

Last year I purchased the 27” Louisville Slugger Solo Speed -13. My son had just turned 7, and the decreased weight really helped him with his bat speed. He really liked it. This year, his is swinging it like a feather, and it is time to move up but still stay on the lighter side of 28” options. He likes the 28” Solo Speed, but he seems to make a more balanced swing with a little more weight. He liked the Louisville Slugger Solo 619 -11, but he preferred the Rawlings threat -12 (although the end cap looks iffy). I see that it is a composite bat versus the alloy bat he currently has, so I was curious as to how the two materials compared. He has not swung the Easton Ghost X Hyperlight -11, but it looks like a nice option as well. He is 4’3” and weighs 70 lbs. What are your thoughts on these options? I plan to purchase one this week from you guys. Ryan
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.
