Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 11 Customer Reviews
Pros: My 6yr old has the 5150 27/-11 and threat 28/-12. But this is his go to Bat. Consistently hitting baseballs to the outfield. Good pop for USA bat. Other owned bats 2018 voodoo one(28/18), 2018 5150(28/18, and 2018 prodigy(27/16).
Cons: USA bat! His real go bat. Is the CAT8. But the velo gets real close!
Pros: Slightly lighter than our 5150 with weight coming in at 19.6 ounces. Seems to have good pop along with good swing weight. A bunch of the kids on the team all took turns hitting with it and liked it.
Cons: Still going to get vibrations when hitting off the end cap or handle. Was hitting yesterday in 50 degree temps and it rung my sons hands pretty good a few times. I am sure the cold temps played a large part of it.
Pros: Weight is balanced, Big sweet spot.
Cons: Vibrates when not hit on the screws. But they all do that.
Pros: Since my son started using this bat his swing and contact have greatly improved. Glad I found this bat and got it for him.
Cons: None yet
Pros: great price
Cons: None
Pros: Great sound when you hit. Bat is light but powerful.
Cons: Slight vibration but not terrible.
Pros: Great bat for this age group. My son is 9.
Cons: None
Pros: My son loves the bat so much. He hits dingers into the out field, and he hits a lot of home runs he will not change bats he just wants the same one.
Cons: He doesn’t think there’s any cons about this bat.
Pros: got this a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the baseball season. My son used a 27/16 last year, and bumped up to a 28/17 this year. We have hit in the cold and rain, and the bat has way more pop than the Prodigy he used the last 2 season. Excited to see what it can do on a warm day.
Cons: miss hits do sting, but that doesn't matter what bat you are using.
Pros: Lightweight and balanced very well. Bat flys through the zone. Lots of pop and great sound. Sticky grip as well.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: My son just got it, but great pop. Teammates are all asking to try and use it. For the price I’m happy.
Cons: Vibration ... but then again it’s March still.

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.
