Where is the pop? Eric Parent

Pros: Bat feels great, has cool graphics and the sandpaper feel on the barrel.

Cons: The bat has Zero pop to it out of the wrapper. After proper break-in, the bat never had any pop. It had a different sound from other bats when hit. My daughter is a power hitter and she could never get the ball out of the infield with this bat. I ended up biting the bullet and buying the 2019 DeMarini which I knew has a lot of pop.

Great bat Joe Schmoe Coach

Pros: My daughter plays club ball and is 13. In the last four games she has 2 doubles and 3 triples with this bat. When she hits she drives the crap out of the ball. Great pop with the proper swing.

Cons: It doesn’t come out of the wrapper with lots of pop. You actually have to break in the bat people!!! I hate seeing people complain about a bat not coming out of the wrapper with great pop! Your spending good money for a composite bat!!! Do your homework, all composite bats should be broke in properly even if they come out of the wrapper with good pop you still need to break them in properly if you want it to last. You don’t go buy anything good and not break it in right. That’s just being ignorant and dumb.

Buying a 31/19 for my grand daughter who is in Little league FP softball. Is this a legal bat? I am confused about the new USABat sticker they are all supposed to have, yet none of them seem to have that sticker at this time. Chris
The USA Bat standard is the required stamp for Little League Baseball, while softball is not affected by this new standard. The 2019 Louisville Slugger LXT -12 Fastpitch Softball Bat: WTLFPLX19A12 would be legal for your player in Little League Fastpitch Softball.

My daughter will playing 9/10U next season. She is an undersized contact hitter and was wondering if the -12 vs. -11 should help her generate more swing speed and/or control the bat better. Thanks. Pete
They most likely would, yes. Lighter bats do help with bat speed, at the cost of having less mass at the point of contact, so power can suffer slightly.
Kyle J.
I have seen several reviews claiming less pop, curious as to how the bat tests with actual exit velocity versus a -11. Has the LXT -12 proven to be inferior to traditional LXT bats? Darrell
We only have 2 reviews of this 2019 Louisville Slugger LXT -12 Fastpitch Softball Bat (WTLFPLX19A12) and as you have noticed, they are pretty negative. Sadly, we do not have any test results to make a determination on whether it is a high performing bat or not. However, if you have reservations about getting it, I would recommend avoiding this bat and maybe moving to the -11 if you feel she can handle the extra ounce on an LXT.

Looking for a Slapper bat for my 11 year old. All the past bats designated as “slapper” bats only have -10 or -11, where I need a -12 (31 in). Would this bat be effective for slapping? Traci
The 2019 Louisville Slugger LXT -12 Fastpitch Softball Bat: WTLFPLX19A12 will be a rather balanced bat which is necessary for a slap hitter. It would not be on the same level as other extremely balanced "slapper" options, but it would certainly suffice.

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.
