A bat built to run this game. Just like you. Introducing the Meta Fastpitch Bat from Louisville Slugger. It features a revolutionary patent pending cantilevered gapped barrel design that maximizes performance and expands the sweet spot of the bat. The low compression barrel design and unmatched feel went through years of playtesting with elite talent. The end result? A cutting-edge high performer that’s ready to go as soon as you unwrap it.
- Louisville Slugger MASH Composite works perfectly with Louisville Slugger innovative gapped wall design to immediately and continually maximize performance. Unlike other gapped wall bats, Louisville Slugger cantilevered inner barrel is not connected at the end cap, allowing it to translate on impact. The result is incredible performance along the entire barrel and a unique sound that cannot be ignored.
- A two-piece design featuring Louisville Slugger's VTX Connection System, which allows for more independent movement between the barrel and handle. This provides a best-in-class feel with less vibration on every swing – something players have come to expect in every Louisville Slugger bat.
- The all-new F2X Performance End Cap maximizes the barrel profile, bat control and swing speed. Its completely transparent design is the perfect finishing touch on a bat built for elite talent.
- The Meta showcases the perfect combination of an easy-swinging profile with just a touch of added weight toward the end of the barrel, helping players of all types and experience levels deliver maximum pop.
- Designed to give players added tack and cushion, the Louisville Slugger Premium Pro Comfort Grip improves feel and bat control through the zone.

Bat Leagues & Certifications
When choosing a baseball bat for your upcoming season, one of the first things you should look at is your league's National Governing Body. The three most common governing bodies for bats are USA Baseball, USSSA and BBCOR. Every league, regardless of age, will follow a specific bat standard for their equipment regulations. The Bat certification logo will always be stamped somewhere on the barrel or taper of the bat. Be sure to check with your local league prior to purchase to ensure your bat meets league requirements.
