Omaha 518 -10 Happy Coach coach
Pros: I bought this bat for my six year old and my nine year old travel player and couldn't believe the amount of pop and abuse it took. Five players on the 6U team used my sons bat almost every at bat. Four and a half months later it's still putting the balls in outfield with no dents.
Cons: none so far
Light, Balanced, and Plenty of Pop FordM coach
Pros: Bough this for my 6u nephew in 25/15. He loves it and uses it to switch hit. The bat is so balanced, he can swing equally easily from both sides. In his first game he went 3-3 left handed (non-dominant side) after only hitting a few dozen off the tee and in live cage work. The lizard skin grips are a plus. He has abandoned his batting gloves. Says he never feels a sting. I am going to pick up a 27/17 for his use next spring. The sweet spot is huge. Highly recommended.
Cons: None to speak of.
7/8U Coach Pitch Travel Scott Mitchell coach
Pros: -Light weight for kids that need more bat speed -Hot out of wrapper (no break in needed) -Takes a kid from hitting to short stop to between outfield and short stop....10 yards farther gain on average -Great Price Point -Balance is great - it is not heavy at end
Cons: -Can only use for a year or so due to Coach Pitch -No pitching machine practice - Game and Coach Pitch Only

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.
