Pros: Made it back just in time to hit with this bat. It is truly astonishing. Great pop! Great feel! Haven't broken the bat yet.
Cons: Lack of colors.
Len
Pros: Nothing, broke after hitting 4 times could here inside rattle.
Cons:
Good bat Lee player
Pros: Great pop. Cant even feel the ball off the bat. Hit a few off the end that would normally have broken a normal wood bat but this one is still going.
Cons: Does have a rattle to it but I believe that is the two piece rod design that makes it rattle when you tap the handle on the ground. The baums have a rod down the whole bat so it doesnt rattle at all.
Gave it a shot Ryan player
Pros: My baum finally broke after three years. Went bat shopping and couldn't believe their price increase so I then came across the LS mlb hybrid. For $80 less I figured Id give it a shot. First bp session I was amazed. Like the other reviews great pop. I was batting in 40 degree weather with cold hands and it felt better than many other bats. Grip surprisingly feels really good, no need for gloves or pine tar. Besides bp and couple games I guess only time will tell how well it will hold up. Doubt it can last a Baum life but I'm very happy with purchase so far. From personal experience I'd recommend it to people on the fence about it.
Cons: So far so good
Wow! Ziggy player
Pros: I'm an adult who's new to playing baseball. I've tried a few bats but since I can't possibly hit on the sweet spot every time I get a lot of sting. I have a bamboo bat that actually injured my hand! This bat? Amazing! Zero sting. And nice pop. I've only just gotten it and already I've had four base hits.
Cons: None that I know of but I haven't had it for very long.
Solid bat Jimmy player
Pros: Play in an +18 league in Birmingham, AL. Honest opinion it's this or the DeMarini DX243. Both are OUTSTANDING. They don't break PERIOD. Baums are great but these are just as good. Both are still in use after 2+ years respectively and against consistent 80-90mph pitching. Pop is there., durability is a non-issue. Do yourself a favor and save money over time from breaking other bats.
Cons: None. These are what you want. My teammates are my true testimonials and they LOVE this bat.

Pros: real nice bat in general consistant exit velocity bat sweet has a little less pop then a regular wood bat but more pop around the sweet spot then regular wood bat handle is great would recommend to first wood bat
Cons: lack of variety of models and colors it is breakable broke mine after 2.5 years of use on a 85mph fastball off the handle but still could be used as a BP bat after a tape job

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.
