baller33 baller player
Pros: Comes with a Lizard Skin grip.
Cons: Broke rather quickly compared to other bats.
Very Disappointed Coach Jerry player
Pros: Look good
Cons: Bat seemed like very good quality "out of the box". My 14 year old son used this for a couple for practices, soft toss only, and a handful of batting practice sessions in the cage, soft toss and side toss only. The grain has already separated! Again, this is 14 year old 140 lb high school freshman swinging a MLB grade player bat that is a "top of the line premium bat" and it's already "broken". It can still be used in the cage but not in games. In the past he has used Pro Stock and Pro Stock Lite and these "lessor grade" bats held up in live arm scrimmages and tons of more cage and practices.

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.
