Rawlings | VELO ACP Baseball Bat | USA | -10/-5 Drop | Hybrid | 2 5/8 Barrel

Great bat, don’t even have to break it in to hit tanks. Great sound of the barrel, and everywhere is the sweet spot.

This bat is decent for USA Baseball stamped bat (needed for the league my son is in). The VELO is better balanced than the 5150. It is not as balanced as the Marucci CAT series but those are not USA Baseball stamped (BBCOR). My boys preferred the CAT but when the league changed the rules to only allow USA Baseball, we found that this bat is a good substitute. Not as much "pop" as the BBCOR but that is the purpose of these USA Baseball stamped bats.5150 is cheaper and we tried that but if you need something more balanced and can afford the price difference, then I would go with the VELO.

I bought a baseball bat for my son. When they delivered it to my house the box was open, had scratches and no packaging at all. My son tried to hit one ball but he didn't like it. I put it back in the box and sent it back to them the next day, but they only refunded me half of what I paid for it. I bought it for $123. They refunded only $70. never buying stuff on Amazon anymore. Every time I buy something on Amazon, they always send you used stuff, they never send you the new stuff. The Rawlings VELO ACP Baseball Bat is a piece of junk, and I still want my $60 back. It doesn’t make sense that they charged me $60 for trying to hit exactly one ball to see how it worked.

Getting daily use. Happy with quality
