Unmatched bat control and swing speed. The 2023 Louisville Slugger Meta (-3) BBCOR Bat empowers top high school and college hitters to generate consistent hard contact. This three-piece composite design pairs the handle and barrel with a stiff 3FX Connection System to dampen vibration while maximizing performance. Elite hitters keep returning to Meta’s EKO Composite Barrel for its consistent performance, massive sweet spot and signature sound on contact. No matter a player’s approach at the plate, Meta helps take their tools to the next level, converting elite bat speed to serious production. WARNING: Most bats are made to standards of governing bodies, including any certifications shown on this bat. Still, a hitter can generate batted ball speeds that present a risk of serious injury or death to fielders, nearby players, coaches, umpires, and spectators. Be alert and aware of all batters, and use appropriate protective equipment at all times, on a baseball or softball field or near a batter. Manufacturing tolerances, performance considerations, and grip weight may cause variations from the listed weight/Mass Index.
