Rawlings 5150 2-5/8" BBCOR Bat -3oz (2017) Lightly Used w/Warranty

The year was 2011, and South Carolina just won the College World Series fueled by a bat that was fire truck red and loud as anything. That bat was the 5150, and that was the year Rawlings baseball bats got put on the map. The 5150 has gone through some changes since, and it was and will be this year a one-piece, all-alloy bat. As the years progressed Rawlings came out with the Velo, which was almost identical to the 5150. These two bats had one minor difference: The Velo had a composite end cap to give it better bat speed. The 5150 had this feature in 2016, and the truth is it didn't do as well because it was too similar to the Velo. The 5150 goes back to its roots in 2017, a one-piece, all-alloy bat with a nice balance. A lot of people will wonder if the Velo better balanced. The answer would be yes, but the 5150 has the advantage for younger kids because it comes in size 30/27 ounces.
