Louisville Atlas USA (-12) Baseball Bat

The Louisville Atlas USA (-12) Baseball Bat is a one-piece alloy youth bat engineered to deliver off-the-charts swing speeds and maximum barrel control for rising stars in USA-sanctioned baseball leagues. This single bat is held in both hands like a standard baseball bat, with the balanced swing weight and lightweight -12 drop making it easy for younger players to generate bat speed through the zone while maintaining control at the point of contact. The EVOKE Alloy Barrel profile distributes weight evenly throughout the bat using computer-simulated optimization, resulting in a stiff, responsive feel that young hitters appreciate. A 2-5/8 inch barrel diameter provides an expanded sweet spot for improved contact rates, while the updated SPD-Gen2 End Cap works in tandem with the barrel to optimize performance and ensure USA hitters can take full advantage when they square up a ball. The premium LS Pro Comfort Grip adds tack and cushion to improve feel and reduce vibration sting on mishits. Certified with the 2018+ USA Baseball stamp, this bat is approved for use in Little League, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Pony, and AABC leagues.
