I'm looking for a transition bat for my son who will be 13 next year, playing in Pony League. He is a high average hitter, but hasn't hit his growth spurt yet and doesn't rely on power. I'm more concerned with bat speed right now and do not think he will be ready for a -3 BBCOR. What are your thoughts on this bat for kids in this period, as there aren't a lot of -8 USA bats on the market. Andy Hershberger
How does this compare to the new version? Is it the same bat with a different paint job? How true is it to its sticker weight? The Legendary Deuce
Can this LS Select 719 be used in colder weather since it has an alloy barrel? Meaning like the LS Prime you recommend not using it under 55 degrees since it is a composite barrel. Bryan
Is this bat stamped with 1.15 BPF? Tracey
My son is 5'5" and 150 pounds. If I move him to a 32 and up 1 oz, he is drop -8? Will this make a huge difference? KELLEY
Son currently swinging Easton ADV 31/19 -12. He now needs a -8. With the select 719 -8 bat he'll lose 2" in length. I'm not concerned with the increase of 2oz. Is the loss in length a big deal or is there a better option? Eric
Do you have an idea when a new drop 8 will be available for the Select? By chance, will DeMarini bring out a drop 8 hybrid or 1 piece to USA? C bass
I would like to know if this bat comes in a 30 inch. Phiggy
What is the difference between this bat and the Louisville Select -8 model WTLUBS7B820 that you have on your website? Mike
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.
