Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 26 Customer Reviews
Pros: Best 5150 by far, crazy pop with a good amount of stiffness. one of the only bats that are this light and can still put the ball out of the yard
Cons: the vibration is there but its not anything overwelming
Pros: Felt little to no vibration, tons of pop, overall the exact bat you want
Cons: nothing
Pros: Great pop. Solid feel at impact. He's very confident at the plate with this in his hands.
Cons: It's been a cold spring, so there's a touch more vibration at time that he'd like, but I think that will diminish in warm weather.
Pros: My son transitioned from a drop 8 bat to a drop 3 to prepare for middle school and we weren’t real sure how he’d do with a heavier bat. This bat has worked out great and has actually had more pop than we thought it would. We are definitely satisfied customers.
Cons: None
Pros: Order it for my nephew he loves it.
Cons: A lot of pop
Pros: My son loves the bat. Will be trying out for modified this year. Ball was popping off the bat right out of the box. My son was able to swing it with ease
Cons: None. 1st bbcor bat so we do it have anything to compare it to
Pros: Purchased for my son, he is very happy with it. Has great pop and the grip is better than most.
Cons: He does not have any- he is perfectly happy
Pros: great pop
Cons: if you get jammed but you do feel vibration if you get jammed
Pros: If you don’t want to spend a pile of money just to “keep up with the Jones’s” this a good BBCOR bat for the money
Cons: None
Pros: Awesome pop with a wicked sound. My 14 year old makes this bat sound evil. Great bat for going yard with.
Cons: Nothing to complain about.
Pros: The bat for the price you can't go wrong. Has plenty of Pop right out the wrapper. Sounds good when you hit it on the sweet spot.this is the second 5150 I bought my son back-to-back years I love the Rawlings bats.
Cons: The only Con I could think of is when you don't catch it on The Sweet spot the bat does not sound good but that is going to only let you know you did not catch it on The Sweet spot so in reality it's not a bad thing.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
