The next generation is here. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is ready to establish himself as a premier talent with his MLB Prime Signature Series VG27. With a traditional knob taper, standard handle thickness and short barrel taper, this uncupped Birch design features Black Seamless Decals in a simple look that lets your bat do the talking.

The MLB Prime Signature Series lineup offers all players a chance to step up to the plate with bats big league stars swing. Through extensive conversations and collaboration with our MLB All-Stars and Most Valuable Players, the Louisville Slugger product team has developed a line of MLB Prime bats built to exact player specifications. These models, featuring the same extraordinary components of all MLB Prime bats, bring the bright lights to any ball field. From knob to cup, the features on MLB Prime bats are unmatched – something the best players in the world recognize. Each of our Signature Series and MLB Prime bats feature an easy-to-read knob medallion embedded in the knob that indicates the MLB Prime grade of wood, the species and the length, with the bat name and production date engraved in the surrounding area. These bats also feature a Craftsman-Style Cup, created specifically to curb breakage and maintain hardness on contact. To give these bats an unparalleled look and feel, all MLB Prime models are coated with our EXOPRO finish, which creates a beautiful mirror-like appearance and unmatched level of hardness. Seamless Decals on the center, end and back brands blend into the bat almost as intricately as the grain itself. All in all, MLB Prime bats are the finest Louisville Slugger bats created in over a century of craftsmanship. This is MLB Prime. This is Louisville Slugger.

Vladimir'S BAT SPECS

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s VG27 Signature Series bat is fashioned after Louisville Slugger's super-popular and well-known C243 turn, with a traditional knob taper, standard handle thickness and short barrel taper. His uncupped Birch gamer features black Seamless Decals in a simple look that lets your bat do the talking.

It is a '4' (Slightly End Loaded) on the Swing Weight Scale.


MLB Ink Dot: The Ink Dot is the stamp of the highest quality wood bat. Only ink-dotted bats that meet slope-of-grain are approved for play in Major League Baseball. Every Maple and Birch Louisville Slugger PRIME bat carries this stamp of approval.


Product Features

  • EXOPRO: Gives you a finish you can feel in an incredibly durable top coat that not only drastically increases surface hardness, but gives you a mirror-like finish in high-gloss models, elevating the color and grain definition of the bat.
  • Knob Medallion: Easy-to-read medallions have been embedded in the knob, clearly show the identifying characteristics of your bat and replacing outdated etching that has been previously used. The medallion indicates the MLB Prime grade of wood, the species and the length, while the bat name is engraved in the surrounding area.
  • Seamless Decals: Louisville Slugger’s exclusive Seamless Decals are applied directly under the top coat, giving MLB Prime bats a pristine look. All MLB Prime models feature branding that blends into the bat almost as intricately as the grain of the wood itself – without added stress from pressure and heat. Thanks to this innovative technology, MLB Prime bats continue to shine after countless trips to the plate.

    The following are tips and tricks to take care of your bat and make sure that you properly break it in for maximum performance. At the end of this post there are some illegal break in procedures that you should absolutely avoid. Some stores and websites offer to roll or shave a bat. We do not recommend this as both are illegal and can result in multiple issues for you.

    BAT CARE

    • Rotate your bat 1/4 turn each swing to distribute the hitting surface evenly
    • Limit the bat to individual use.
    • Do not use in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Do not store the bat in extremely hot or cold temperature areas. It takes about 4 hours for a bat to reach the temperature that it is in. You can use the bats in colder weather as long as they are stored in warm places.
    • Do not use the bat to hit the dirt off of your metal cleats
    • Use regulation leather covered baseballs and softballs. Avoid the dimpled cage balls. It's best to keep an old bat, wood or a cheaper alloy for practice.
    • Do not hit waterlogged balls
    • Routinely check your bat for any damage

    BREAK IN

    • Aluminum / Alloy bats do not require a break-in period. These bats are ''hot out of the wrapper'' and can be used in a game right away.
    • Composite bats may require a break-in period. If you feel your bat is not at optimal performance out of the wrapper, we recommend about 50-100 swings either off of a tee or by soft toss with a 1/4 rotation of the barrel after each swing. Some bats will require more break in, and others less but please remember composite bat life spans are directly related to how many impacts it receives. Each "Break In" hit takes away overall life of the bat! Once broken In, we recommend that you save you bat for Game Use Only.

    We recommend starting with a length based on a player's height and weight as seen below. These charts simply serve as a starting point. As far as the best weight, it will vary from player to player depending on one's personal preference, age, hitting style, bat speed, and strength. Typically we recommend the longest and heaviest bat that you can swing without losing bat speed or affecting your swing. The FEEL of the bat will be the most important factor. You have to make sure it feels right to you. The more you like it the more confident you will be at the plate! 

    HELP DECIDING BETWEEN TWO SIZES

    • Longer/Heavier Bat: Will be better for players that are growing but can cause a dip in their swing. Also it moves the sweetspot of the bat further away from the player which can cause more miss hits. For a growing or younger player that can handle the heavier bat without issue compared to the lighter, it is best to go with the longer/heavier bat.
    • Shorter/Lighter Bat: Will give far more control of the bat, and keep the sweetspot closer to the player. They can always adjust in batter's box. The down side for growing players is you might have to buy more bats over time. Tony Gwynn, one of the greatest batters in MLB history and a grown man who weighed well over 200lbs, used a 32 ½ inch bat the majority of his career. It is not always better to just keep sizing up.

    IMPORTANT BASEBALL BAT RULES

    Baseball unlike Fastpitch Softball has certain Drop (Length-to-Weight Ratio) requirements per age group. It is important to keep track of these as there is a certain point over 4 years where you have to have a different drop each year. If you can swing the heavier earlier without hurting your swing it can be beneficial.

    • 12 & Under (12u): Any Drop
    • 13 & Under (13u): Must be a DROP 8 or Heavier
    • 14 & Under (14u): Must be a DROP 5 or Heavier
    • 15 & Under (15u): Must be a BBCOR (Drop 3)
    • High School (Regardless of Age): Must be a BBCOR (Drop 3)

    LENGTH-to-WEIGHT RATIO

    The ''DROP'' as some may call it, or the number with the MINUS in front of it is the LENGTH-to-WEIGHT ratio. This defines the difference between the length of the bat in inches and the weight of the bat in ounces. The larger the number, the lighter the bat.
