Louisville Slugger 2019 Solo 619 (-11) 2 5/8" USA Baseball Bat

The Louisville Slugger Solo 619 USA bat is a very solid all around bat for your little leaguer. This bat combines the rare combination of incredibly light swing weight with tremendous pop off the barrel. While there is nothing fancy about the bat it gets the job done just as well if not better than many other more expensive USA bats out there. My son has put thousands of swings on this and it is still holding up incredibly well. The only complaint with this bat is that it can sting the hands quite a bit if you don't get it on the sweet spot. Other than that, it is a cheap light swinging bat that hits bombs!

This bat is great. Kid is able to grow into it but it’s not very heavy for age range AAA little league to majors 10-13. 4 grand slams this month thanks to the new bat. Would recommend!

He is only had a chance to do one batting practice with it, but he is already so excited. I’m hoping he has an amazing year with his new bat.

I bought this bat for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and hit very well with it. Once I tried hitting with more power it looses power, and it is more endloaded but still a good bat.

This bat is one of the best USA certified bats out there. The bat swings as light as any drop 11 out there and the pop is really nice for USA bats. My son who is a solid hitter, immediately put additional distance on his hits and put almost all well into the outfield at 8 (using a 28/17).If you are not familiar there are different bat standards so this is a really good bat based on a terrible bat standard, however if you can only use USA bats this is a really good bat with a great value. if you can use USSSA bats, dont even consider anything that isnt USSSA certified. even the worst USSSA bats have 2x the pop as these bats and its immediately noticeable when you switch between them. We have both since USA is for his little league and USSSA is for travel and the distance and power is considerably different.

This bat was just over $60, after taxes, when I purchased it (July, 2020). That's 1/3 of the original retail price, a tremendous deal. The Solo 619 is basically a re-skin of the very popular Solo 618. While some people still prefer the 618, most bat review websites compared the two and believe that the 619 outperforms it slightly.While this is by far the best single-piece aluminum USA bat under $200, it does have a relatively small sweet spot, especially in the shorter lengths. If the bat is 28 inches long, the sweet spot might only be 5-6 inches. Younger players might not be able to put a barrel of that size on the ball, consistently.That said, at 1/3 of the total retail price, it's a much better option than spending $180 on the Slugger Solo 2020.

Last year we had the 30", good pop one home run. We moved to a 31" DeMarini Voodoo One at end of last season (bought at store clearance in 2019). It never really seemed to have as much pop. We rolled the DeMarini over to this year thinking we only needed it for one or two tournaments. Never really seemed to hit hard, plus it dented as well. Had one last USA tournament and needed another bat. This was successful last year, and still at a good price so we bought the 31". Bat still has pop. Ball popped off bat every time including homer and ground-rule double to center. DeMarini never had this kind of pop.

I've been coaching Little League for years and have constantly watched kids swing bats that were too heavy. This one has a nice weight distribution, very acceptable -11 length to weight ratio, had the correct weight (as advertised) when it arrived, and has the larger barrel for 8-10 year olds. We also considered the 2-1/2' barrel version that is a -13 but my son thought it was too light when he tried it.My 9 year old loves it as a replacement for his Easton. Very sold bat for the price. Plenty of power in it for kids in the intended age range.
