Louisville Slugger’s 2021 Meta PWR is a two-piece hybrid bat with an end-load. The bat replaces the 2020 bat with the same name and is only changed by the colorway from blue to red. Our bigger hitters like heavier bats with an aluminum barrel and a stiffer feel. The Select PWR checks those boxes. Players looking for something like The Goods but aren’t interested in that will find solace because many college players swing the Select.

We recommend the 2021 Louisville Slugger Select PWR to big hitters who want an aluminum barrel on a two-piece bat. The bat has not changed from the 2020 version so, unless you’re in love with the red colorway, we suggest you go with the 2020 if you can find it with a warranty from a legit seller. The 2020 version also has good ratings on its durability. So, buying this bat used is a go if you can find it for the right price. We’d put a used strike price (no warranty and a season of use) in the $145 and under range.
Aluminum barreled bats with composite handles tend to swing heavier than their two-piece composite counterparts. The Select PWR is no exception. Bigger hitters want a stiff feel on a two-piece hybrid like the 2021 Select PWR more than a bat like the Quatro or CF. The Select PWRs real challenger is The Goods and, at least in terms of market sentiment, prefer The Goods than the Select PWR. However, our exit speed tests showed the bats perform very similarly.
