Louisville Slugger MLB Prime Pennies Birch Wood Baseball Bat: WBL2434010
Get ready to take your offensive game to the next level with this Louisville Slugger MLB Prime Pennies birch wood baseball bat. Its striking copper and black colors provide a satisfying contrast, and its birch wood construction means it brings the best of both worlds when it comes to wooden bats — the best features of both maple and ash bats.
Bat Benefits
Birch is an excellent bat material because it has a flex quite similar to ash. It also has a hardness similar to maple. Take advantage of increased surface hardness thanks to its EXOPRO finish, which Louisville Slugger says is twice as hard as previous years. Plus, the copper color shines on this Pennies baseball bat to make it look excellent. This baseball bat is built to be balanced with an SWS number of 1, which is the most balanced option in Louisville Slugger's lineup. You can feel confident reaching the highest swing speeds possible while still retaining plenty of control.
Warranty
Louisville Slugger offers a 30-day limited warranty on this Pennies birch wood baseball bat.
Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 4 Customer Reviews
Pros: liked the finish weight and balance were good for him
Cons: small dents on the barrel prior to use
Pros: Great balance for as big of a barrel, nice pop, not too much feed back on the hands on mis hits.
Cons: End cup started chipping after day one, knob sticker fell off after ten swings.
Pros: Good pop, even on mishits and very balanced
Cons: Broke in less than 50 swings on a ball hit near the end of the barrel.
Pros: This is a good birch 110 turn baseball bat. Swings light. Nice pop. The paint job is also really nice.
Cons: For the price, this bat is not a good deal. My son used it in his collegiate league, and it broke pretty quickly. Performed well up to that point, but you should realize you're not getting extra durability for the price. There are much cheaper 110 turn birch bats that perform just as well.

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.
