The 2019 Rawlings Velo Ash is a USABat certified baseball bat constructed from traditional ash wood, designed to provide a classic feel with added flexibility and good pop on contact. Its 29-inch length paired with a -7.5 drop weight (21.5 oz) makes it lighter relative to length, facilitating quicker swing speeds and better bat control.

This model is suitable for players who want the natural performance and vibration characteristics of ash wood in a game-ready, USABat certified bat. At 29 inches and a -7.5 drop, it fits well for youth and smaller high school players who benefit from a lighter bat to optimize swing speed without compromising reach. It’s a good option for hitters looking for a balanced feel between power and control with legal certification for amateur play.
