2026 Louisville Slugger Select PWR Hybrid USABat Certified Bat (-8) 23 oz 31" (New)

The 2026 Louisville Slugger Select PWR Hybrid is a USABat certified bat designed for kid pitch leagues, meeting the standards for 9 to 13-year-old players. This model features a hybrid construction combining composite and alloy materials, which helps optimize swing speed and durability. Its 31-inch length and 23 oz weight (drop -8) offer a balanced feel suitable for developing power without sacrificing control. The 2 5/8-inch barrel diameter provides a standard hitting surface for consistent contact. This new bat’s yellow finish is easily visible and distinguishes this model from prior versions. This bat is appropriate for youth hitters in competitive leagues who require a USABat certified option that blends lightweight swing mechanics with enough heft for productive swings. The drop -8 length-to-weight ratio favors players transitioning to heavier bats while still maintaining bat speed, making it well-suited for players developing power and timing at the plate.

The Louisville Slugger Select PWR (Power) series caters to power hitters with a BBCOR, USA, and USSSA model. The Select PWR bat features an Updated Premium LS Pro Comfort Grip, which provides better cushion and tack for batters. The stiff composite handle provides tons of control, while the heavier-swinging EXD Premium Alloy Barrel offers a large sweet spot for consistent, explosive pop.

Bought this bat for my son. He likes the slight end load. The bat is easy for him to control through the swing and has a huge sweet spot and great pop. These bats are also very durable, which is a huge plus.
