These are the Only Bats that I will buy & When I played years ago, They were the Only ones , That I would hit with, During any Game, They are a Legend in MLB History etc.
I've been in the Museum and the factory in Louisville, it was really cool for me since I love baseball. It was also cool on how they make the bats. I've also passed slugger field while I was there
Can you guys interview me? I worked at the Museum for 6 years and want to tell my story about how they mistreated me and other employees. Have some great stories that nobody knows about involving the company, the Hillerichs, and all the bad they have done.
The Museum hurt a lot of their employees (me included) when covid hit. If you knew half of what this company has done over the last 10 years you would not use their product or visit the museum.
Maybe you will try making some and soaking them like drift wood before sanding and painting the bats. They will be harder with the minerals in water. The minerals the hard of a bat. Maybe with a cave man club logo and the word driftwood . I was thinking after painting, and lacquering the bats you could dip the handle end in a rubberized/polymer mixed paint coating for smooth grippier texture.
Is the real reason they are switching to Maple is the Emeral Ash Borer is killing all the Ash trees? They make Maple sound like it is the best wood but if it was then why were they always made out of Ash wood?
bats have been made out of all types of wood over the years. Ash, hickory, maple, today they use birch as well. Maple started becoming popular in the early 2000's (before the Ash borer made its way into the US) its just a coincidence. Maple is about 20% more dense than ash so the players feel they can hit the ball further with a maple bat.
haywood jeblome takes 80 years for a tree to grow before it can be harvested to make a bat. Plus even with the bug killing the trees maple bats are still more expensive than ash.
haywood jeblome I work for a bat company sick won't get into the entire reasons why you are wrong. Ash trees you need 7 to 9 grain lines per square inch and since a barrel of a bat is roughly 2.5 inches in diameter that is roughly 20 years of growth. Plus bat companies only use the wood from the outer part of the tree. They don't use the wood in the center. You can't make a good bat from the center rings (older rings)
Why does music have to be played underneath dialogue continuously? Are we as a species so distracted, so deficient in our ability to concentrate on one thing at a time that we need the constant sound of instruments playing? Will people get bored within two minutes if there's only the human voice to listen to? Apparently that's what video makers think. And if they're right, we're doomed to mediocrity.
@@attackonponyproductions4927 that goes for everyone. They make bats for the masses. Also, you cant be "measured" for a bat. Some of the smallest guys in baseball history used some of the biggest bats and vice versa. Its not like putting on a pair of shows and seeing what fits.
In the video he says that the only difference between MLB bats and Prime bats is Derek Jeeter's name. So why do the MLB bats have Derek Jeeter's name on them? Does anyone know?
Probably not swinging Louisville retail wood ever again. Their pro wood is awesome but that's for the pros. Sticking to marucci and old hick and maybe Rawlings for ash
Only 15% of MLB players use slugger. They have been going downhill ever since John Hillerich IV took over in 2000/2001 from his Father. Only reason company is still in business is because of the museum. Even the museum has gone downhill since Covid hit in 2020. The museum got rid of some amazing employees and tour guides and now all the tour is is videos and guides that are not knowledgeable
John A. Hillarich IV “believes” that his great-great-great-great-great grandfather founded the factory in 1854? He “believes”. He is not worthy of being CEO.
He is an idiot. I worked for the company for 6 years until they got rid of us because of Covid even though they got multiple rounds of PPP money. Company has been going downhill since he took over in 2000/2001. Hillerichs all hate baseball. Only thing that makes that company money now is the museum. They make a horrible bat and only can fall back on their history which is amazing, but at this point the company doesnt have a bright future if John is going to be sticking around. I have stories about how messed up that family is I could write a book
I think marruci has better quality wood than louisville slugger because I broke 5 louisville slugger bats in 1 month and broke only 2 marruci in the same amount of time
To play Devil's Advocate, with the advent of different polymers or alloys (Especially in recent years), it may have seemed like a reasonable question. I think it may have been better worded as "Why are they STILL made of wood?" Which I think he does go on to clarify, if I'm not mistaken.
“Even a Mets fan might be able to hit something with this”
*OOF*
Mess

They're almost right across the street from each other. I live about 2 miles from both.
@@MrEazyE357 almost across the street? Yes they are on the same street but they are a mile apart
Went on a factory tour. Really interesting. I recommend if you can check it out. They also have a museum, theatre and store.
are you a spokesperson for them or something
I have a Louisville slug bat and I love it. I hit the ball so many times that I wait 20 for 20 ⚾😎

Louisville has many models that say they use "professional grade" quality wood. How is the MLB prime different than those?
It's not it's the same wood
The wood is MLB Pro quality, not just Semi-Pro or minor league quality, in the wood.
So where does the barb wire come in?
bringoutthelegos Ahhh I get it The Walking Dead
WHAT BARB WIRE?? ITS A BASEBALL BAT?? YOU KNOW NOTHING BRINGOUTLEGOS
@@bloodeagle2234 You don't get it. It's a joke, it's a reference to a TV show. It's called The Walking Dead.

I'm doing a baseball bat know in school.... I'm really excited when I'm done with it
Levi Ackerman how’d it go?
gee, could you make the music a little bit LOUDER?
yes? yes they could

Where do they cork the Yankees bats?
yeh i was wondering the same thing,
cuz judge and stanton are crushing the ball with their LV bats
Batman that’s because it’s judge and Stanton
I own a Louisville slugger and its a 1990 pro model
Enjoyed your video
wow the swede love baseball bats have a real Louisville slugger and like Louiseville bats best.
Host: "Even a Mets fan might be able to hit something with this"
Mets fans: 🤬
Yankees fans: You're mad cus it's true 🤣
Not this year

That just sounds like a bad excuse. I am going to plant some ash trees cause they are going to be really expensive soon.
haywood jeblome takes 80 years for a tree to grow before it can be harvested to make a bat. Plus even with the bug killing the trees maple bats are still more expensive than ash.
The tree only has to be 2 or 3 inches so it should be more like 5 years. Then they are long so you can get 5 or 10 bats with each tree.

I jad the Jay Bruce red and gold, discontinued, should've saved.
I want my baseball bat to make real not from a tree a live one
Bruce Wayne: I'm hear
I wish they would make pool sticks
Everyone talks about steroids inflating offensive numbers, but the bats today are much better than the ones used in the 70s and 80s.
Al Capone used a Louisville slugger
*tHiZ Iz LuCCilE ANd ZhE Iz AWzUmE!*
I better sweep it up
Don’t forget to tape it

I live in Louisville

Me too. About 2 miles from here.
Remember to put my name on it
It's pronounced "Loo-a-vul". Get it right!

Now its not! Just were your at. I ve always have called it loiuisville as lou-ie..ville
Dont forget to tape
I only buy Louisville Sluggers, and I get mine measured to me and only me.
then you buy garbage bats, they also wouldnt make someone a custom bat like you are describing unless you are a pro player
@@t206kid you can buy bats from them that can be measured to you.

I don't think Matt bynum has a clue about what's going on.
sexii bats (not the flying kind thats for fucking sure)
Cold Steel Polypropylene Bats are better.
Probably not swinging Louisville retail wood ever again. Their pro wood is awesome but that's for the pros. Sticking to marucci and old hick and maybe Rawlings for ash
XxXxXxXx the Rawlings Ash Bats are really nice. I recommend those more than marucci. Never swung Old Hick.
I have the ap5 and man does it have some pop. I heard that chandler has the best retail maple right now
XxXxXxXx yea the do. My friend owns one. He will hit it off the handle and still one hop the fence dead center at 370
I broke mine!!😫😫

@@t206kid When I was still in Louisville, I worked for someone who worked there. :-). Can agree with you
also not that it really matters, but the Hillerich at the 2:00 min mark is Brian, not Bobby as the video has wrong. Bobby is Brians brother
My sons lasted 1 month then cracked at handle called you guys no warranty
yeah, they dont stand behind their wood bats because they are garbage
Lucille s
I think marruci has better quality wood than louisville slugger because I broke 5 louisville slugger bats in 1 month and broke only 2 marruci in the same amount of time
both companies get their wood from the exact same area of the country.
ben francke the MLB logo or LS logo?
If you break 5 bats in a month maybe you’re doing something wrong
U break bats alot
"Why are they made out of wood?" dumbest fucking question I've ever heard.

Can you make me a34ounceone
Jjk
mets haa
Baseball Baseball what did he mean by that at the end of the video?
I use Marucci Wood bats and hit more homerun then your bats.
Phuc Tran you obviously don't hit home runs when it comes to grammar.
You write like you've been using your wood bat to bash yourself in the head on a pretty regular basis.
wood bats are dumb
Livereater00 what makes them dumn
they're just not as fun like taco bell runs
Aww, is someone stuck in little league and doesn’t want to learn to use a real bat?
Chemical_Waddles good one
Honestly it would make the game more exciting using metal bats.
Wood? HARDball? 🥎 A Bigger HARDball? SAFETY #1? Nah?
