Great bat Lucas Olszewski Player
Pros: This bat is the best I have ever seen I love it so much
Cons: No con
12U AA 110# Kid Adam Bruntjen Coach
Pros: Big sweet spot made for kids with level swings who don’t tend to try pulling the ball. Easy swinging, very little rattle. Took ~ 50 hits to break in. 30 games in and no cracks or spiderwebs. Unless you’re playing Majors any A, AA, AAA, kid will be happy to use this as their ‘gamer’ bat. Especially now that the $ has dropped its a great value sub $200.
Cons: Totally nitpicking here. Not quite as hot as the Icon out of wrapper but it is more forgiving. Also if you get jammed and hit it low on the barrel I have seen one crack (but again most bats would).
Definitely Undervalued Miguel Hermosillo Parent
Pros: I bought a 30 drop 8 for my 12U son. He loves how easy the bat swings and he has had some great hits. This Bat is performing better than the highly sought after ICON and Hype Fire.
Cons: No Cons as of yet.
Hot right out of the box Jason Boyko Parent
Pros: Son swings drop 5 needed a good priced drop 8 for PG. first swing was a bomb. Good feel get pop.
Cons: Durability is too soon to tell. Friend has one that’s in use for a year with no issues yet.
LS Meta Limited TJ Tanks Coach
Pros: Great feel. Lots of pop. The weight is evenly distributed.
Cons: Teammates with more expensive bats will have envy.
Excellent bat JP Coach
Pros: We love the bat, has a great balance and feel to it. Always buy the bats a year later and a discounted price. From my understanding this is the same design as the black and orange early versions. Pop is good, but needs proper break in.
Cons: None so far.
Good Good Player

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.
