Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 5 Customer Reviews
Pros: Looks nice.
Cons: Cracked the bat after less than 10 uses. My son is 10.
Pros: Looked nice
Cons: The bat only lasted about 3 months then broke
Pros: Looked nice
Cons: My 11 year old son and I used this bat for some soft toss. The bat busted right at the handle after 5 hits!! Extremely disappointing and waste of money. I was looking for an alternative to a USA bat for Little League. This bat isn’t it.
Pros: Good swing weight, good pop, great training tool for a young hitter to learn to drive and barrel the ball
Cons: Softer than expected for a maple bat, taking a lot of dents and dings from the ball seams using regular Little League balls
Pros: It’s a bat
Cons: Broke after legit 2 swings. Do not recommend.

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.
