Bat Review Craig player
Pros: Great pop on the sweet spot. Trampoline effect is definitely felt on contact and is comfortable and not violent like some of the bats I've used. The resistant texture on the bat seems to definitely help with paint chips. Also, i have not completely broke the bat in yet but out of the box it has good pop so i am rating it higher in hopes it will continue to provide satisfactory pop.
Cons: Make sure you can hit the sweet spot. just testing the feel of the different spots of the bat i noticed quite a bit of vibration closer to the handle. this is common for most two piece bats, but i was not expecting it with a solid one piece bat. Not enough to require a lower rating, just a warning.
not a fan Leo player
Pros: does have good pop right out the box. Graphics are okay, grip is nice.
Cons: this was my first one piece bat. Not a fan at all. sweet spot is very small, the closer you get to the handle it has quite a vibration and it hurts. I went and bought the Miken manic, it's a two-piece alloy bat. way more pop, it's harder and farther, feels way better. Plus The Sweet Spot as much larger.

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.
