Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst - The lightest biggest barrel bat on the market. The bat’s stiff handle and flexible barrel transfer more energy than the trendy, whippy-handle bats touted by other bat makers. The result is more consistent performance from the Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst™ on the field.
Available in both senior league and youth baseball models, the Catalyst™ uses new X-1 composite technology from Louisville Slugger ® TPX ® that can help any player be the catalyst for their team. Louisville Slugger engineers say the Catalyst bat will not only help players change the outcomes of games but it will change the way they think about baseball bats. Catalyst will no doubt change the mindset in senior league and youth baseball because of its optimum combination of performance and durability.

Each layer is precisely positioned at an angle determined by Louisville Slugger’s exclusive computer-designed pattern. That’s what makes Catalyst perform so well and also gives it great durability. Everything from the bat design to the equipment used to manufacture the bat was developed by the Louisville Slugger Composites Research & Development Lab. Controlling every aspect of design and manufacturing ensures that every bat is consistently produced to Louisville Slugger’s high quality standards.
