Description

Louisville Slugger Meta -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: WBL2822010

The Louisville Slugger Meta is back and better than ever, poised to dominate the USSSA ranks with its groundbreaking EKO Composite Linear Wall Barrel!

Bat Benefits

The Louisville Slugger Meta is back with a new iteration, determined to prove itself as a top choice in USSSA baseball once again!

This white and gold Meta boasts a three-piece, all-composite design, inheriting advanced features from previous Meta models while introducing some exciting innovations. Notably, it incorporates a linear EKO Composite Barrel, which is a single-wall barrel profile engineered to be light-swinging with an optimized sweet spot and the truest sound in the game. This technology helps maintain a balanced swing feel while simultaneously enhancing its performance and power.

To minimize discomfort from sting and vibration upon contact, Louisville Slugger integrates their VCX2 Connection System, which works in synergy with the EKO Composite Linear barrel, efficiently facilitating the transfer of energy from bat to ball.

With its 2 3/4" barrel, balanced swing feel, and drop 8 length-to-weight ratio, the Louisville Slugger Meta USSSA is bound to be at the top of most travel ball players' (11 to 13 years old) wish lists!

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).

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.

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.
