Louisville Slugger Select – Historical Models
The Louisville Slugger Select is a two-piece hybrid bat that serves as Sluggers’ middle-of-the-road performance bat. Over the years the swing weight has changed a bit. Mostly, in BBCOR, it’s built for a heavy-hitting high school or the collegiate kid that wants hot out-of-the-wrapper performance, a reasonably stiff feel, and a big barrel. In the years they created it for the USSSA or USA space it’s a durable bat with a good feel and a real value buy.
