Rawlings 5150 BBCOR Bat Is Getting Rave Reviews

By Jeff Wise


High school and college baseball players love the Rawlings 5150 BBCOR bat for the 2012 seasons. It is becoming surprisingly popular, considering this company is mostly known for making gloves and other baseball accessories. Now Rawlings is comparable to other well-known bat manufacturers.

The 5150 Rawlings series has a bat for each age group. There's one for Little League and Senior League. But, the 5150 BBCOR -3 bat seems to be the most popular. If there's any question what league it's intended for, the bat says BBCOR and BESR certified right on the barrel.

Since players come in all different sizes, so does this bat. It has four sizes altogether. The smallest size is 31 inches long and 28 ounces in weight. The largest size is 34 inches long and 31 ounces in weight. If you aren't sure which size is best for you, trying swinging several sizes before making a purchase.

There are several great features for this bat in addition to sizes. It has Precision-Optimized Performance Technology to help maximize barrel flex and trampoline. There are proprietary metal forming techniques in the barrel that optimize balance. It is made of a one-piece 100% alloy frame, it has a 7/8-inch handle and a premium synthetic leather grip. The end cap is ultra light weight to make swinging easier. A one-year manufacturer's warranty is also included.

As far as looks, this bat is attractive to the eye. The barrel is white and red with a touch of silver and black. The grip is black and has a silver Rawlings logo. The end cap and knob are black and include the logo and size of the bat. The handle looks the same as the barrel.

Those who own the bat say it has great pop and balance. Even the universities of South Carolina and Virginia give this bat rave reviews, which says a lot. If a university is using a particular bat for their team, you know it's got to be good and get results. Other top programs have highly recommended this bat as well.

With the help of the Rawlings 5150 BBCOR bat, players will hit at their maximum potential. The Rawlings motto, which says, "Your Swing. Maximized." is a good indicator that this bat will help players reach their hitting goals. Look on Amazon for reviews, bat sizes and more features.
