Bank on Success With Rawlings' 5150 Exogrid Youth Bat


Invest in your child’s game with Rawlings’ 5150 Exogrid Youth Bat.

The 5150 Exogrid Youth Bat (model number YB51X2) is a -10 bat with a 1-piece aluminum alloy frame. It has a 2-1/4” barrel.

It is available in five lengths, ranging from 28” to 32”.

“What a bat!” raved reviewer CoachRick2448. “Just bought this bat for my 10-year-old. … This bat gave him an instant 50 feet to the flight of the ball. He had struggled to hit the fence, but not with this bat. I am truly surprised by this bat.”

The 5150 Exogrid Youth Bat was designed with Vyatek's patented Exogrid with Ph.D technology. Short for passive hybrid damping, Ph.D technology reduces bat vibration on impact without giving away pop.

These bats have a large sweet spot, a bonus for young players still learning the game.

This bat is USSSA BPF 1.15-approved.

“This bat is a little more money than the other ones, but it is worth every dime you spend on it! Your child will see great improvement in their hitting if you invest into their game,” CoachRick2448 added.

All Rawlings' 5150 Exogrid with Ph.D bats are compatible with Rawlings' Sci-Fly and Speedcap technologies.

Rawlings' Sci-Fly radar matches the player with his ideal bat by charting the launch angle of his swing and the speed, hit distance and spin rate of the ball off the bat. The Speedcap measures swing speed.

Rawlings’ Comebacker and Pitching Net (model number TRAVLPITCH) features a realistic pitching target. It is easy to assemble and easy to adjust.

It measures 44” high by 61” wide and is made from a weather-resistant carbon steel frame.

This travel net works for athletes looking to practice fielding, and the life-size catcher’s target is great for pitch training.

In partnership with Ripken Baseball, 5-Tool Training equipment helps players improve their fielding, throwing, hitting for average, hitting for power and speed.
