Average Ratings Based on 19 Customer Reviews
Pros: Great value and quality. Heavy due to 125 design, but great sweet spot. Awesome for practice, training, game, or back yard fun. Cheap enough to buy multiple or replace on most budgets. 125 resembles (loosely) more of a Easton XL shape and 271 more of a Easton Speed/Redline shape if that helps those new to wood bats. Used by strong 11 year old who hits for power as practice bat. No problems or durability concerns after month+ of intense use. Finish is ok, and paired with green / black grip from lizard brand you have a $30 practice bat that looks good enough for game time!
Cons: None -
Pros: Can be used for practice, game , or for fun
Cons: None
Pros: its a good bat all around
Cons: none so far
Pros: inexpensive bad for my 7 year old to swing
Cons: na
Pros: Helps the little hitter "feel" the sweet spot. When he uses the aluminum bats, it feels like he's cheating. Great training tool.
Cons: If it gets wet...it's over. Also, it can break.
Pros: Great Bat my sons haven't used another bat since they got them. in Two weeks there timing and control at the plate has improved. There more Confident
Cons: none yet
Pros: great bat a bit heavy fir my 9u players but they will get use to it. nice pop on it if hit right
Cons: none
Pros: Inexpensive, good BP bat to build strength, no issues with durability after a few months of use, love the sound of wood.
Cons: Very heavy as our 31-inch bat weighed in at over 28 ounces with just a lizard skin added on to it. So ours was -3, definitely not in the -5 to -7 range. Very disappointing as this made it virtually unusable for our wood bat league for 10-11 year olds.
Pros: Got the bat had the bat for one game and the bat cracked immediately wow my 20.00 bucks down the drain
Cons: Want buy a cheap bat ever again
Pros: The bat looks nice.
Cons: First pitch was a hit and it broke the bat.
Pros: Was a nice bat my son11 year old son really really liked it... for a week until he cracked the handle.
Cons: No warranty, No replacement, No nothing from just bats or Louisville... Just a sorry to hear that.
Pros: I bought this for my nine-year-old and six-year-old to use during hitting lessons and cage work. They put a lizard skin grip on it and they absolutely love the way that it feels when they connect with the ball. This bat weighs about 22 ounces Compared to their 18 ounce DeMarini. I would recommend this bat to anyone who hits 2 to 3 times a week. Compared to their 18 ounce DeMarini. I would recommend this bat to anyone who hits 2 to 3 times a week.
Cons: none
Pros: Price for value. Decent finish. We added a lizard skin to this bat and my son uses it for tee practice in our garage. The heavier weight forces him to keep his hands back which what I hoped for. For @$34 all in with the bat grip, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Cons: None.
Pros: So far my 10 year old loves hitting with it. It has a great sound to it and for the price you can't beat it. We have only been in the cage, but can't wait to get on the field to see actual distances.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Durable helps increase swing speed
Cons: None
Pros: great bat for the money
Cons: wood bat, not a lot of pop when use to swinging metal
Pros: Feels good
Cons: Broke in like20 hit and I’m only 13
Pros: This is perfect for my 9 year old son. Its weight is nice and light. Able to send a fast line drive.

Pros: Great bat for the price.
Cons: None

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.
