The 2021Louisville Slugger baseball bat lineup hit the market in October with BBCOR, USSSA and Youth improvements across the board.
The BBCOR bats are led by the 2021 Meta (-3), the one-piece Omaha (-3) and light-swinging Solo (-3). The Meta was completely redesigned for 2021 and includes a Meta PWR (-3) for power hitters wanting a bat with more “explosive performance,” the brand says. The new barrel construction in the Meta line offers a lighter composite end cap and will likely appeal to younger BBCOR players.
On the USSSA site, the Meta is new for the 2021 lineup. With the Meta previously available only as a BBCOR offering the demand was such that Louisville Slugger decided to expand the lineup. An updated connection piece and end cap in 2021 compare with the prior Prime model that it replaces in the USSSA lineup.
Omaha has been the Louisville Slugger bat of choice for players who prefer a one-piece design for many years. The 2021 bat was given a graphics overhaul and is exclusively available on Louisville’s website.
The USSSA Solo is now available in a -5 and -8 for the 2021 season.
Louisville Slugger is big on customization via their website. The 2021 Meta and Solo are available for customizing in both the BBCOR and USSSA models. The cost is $50.
Louisville Slugger will continue to be the brand of choice for college programs such as North Carolina, Arizona, Louisville, Georgia and Florida State.
