Pros: 1st time purchasing a Rawlings bat. Bought this for my 12 yr old. He says the bat is very well balanced and has a stiff feel with lots of pop. If you have ever swung the Easton Rival orange and black bat it has more pop than that.
Cons: None
Review Summary

New for 2012! The SL51V features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is legal for play in 2012! Increase your swing VELOcity with the Rawlings 5150 VELO! The 5150 VELO features an incredibly lightweight design and thinner walls to help young players develop their swing speed and hit the ball further. If a player is having trouble getting a bat around, it will negatively affect their mechanics and ultimately not allow them to hit for power. That's where the VELO comes in. The VELO is made from Rawlings 5150 Alloy that features unmatched durability that provides 10x more strength than traditional alloys. This allows Rawlings to make the barrel walls much thinner to produce a lighter swing weight. But that's not all. Thinner walls also allow for increased barrel flex that results in some of the best trampoline effect of any alloy bat in the game. The precision manufacturing techniques used by Rawlings give players the maximum allowable performance by a youth baseball bat. Maximum allowable performance, increased swing speed, and thin walls will equate to one thing: MORE POWER AT THE PLATE! As with all of Rawlings' premium bats, the 5150 VELO was developed with the help of Sci-Fly Technology. Sci-Fly uses Doppler Radar to track ball flight characteristics and measure the launch angle, ball speed, distance, and spin rate from the point of contact. This information helps Rawlings create a bat with nothing less than optimal performance. Rawlings: Maximum Performance Where it Matters Most on the Field! The 5150 VELO features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is approved for play in 2012. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: Had to replace the 5150's we hit that aren't legal anymore and there is no drop off except not as loud yet. Rawling makes a great bat.
Cons:
by Littel hitter - Mar 15, 2012
Pros: Good balance, lots of pop.
Cons: Dented 3rd time out under the 1st 5 in 5150 on a inside pitch. Rawlings warranty return is 3 weeks behind. As of today they do not have a status on the warranty. Very disappointed all around with Rawlings Bats. Replaced a 2011 5150 that we enjoyed very much but not legal any longer.

Pros: I recently had a Worth Prodigy, and now it is in a triangular shape, but I bought this bat for my new 2012 travel ball season and I am at my best point yet. The ball flies off this thing. Rawlings made a great bat.
Cons: Nothing

Pros:
Cons: Bought this bat for my son and after two games the bat already had a dent in it.
by M Bish - Mar 30, 2012
Pros:
Cons: Bat dented with in 2 uses of this bat. Dealing with Rawlings warranty has been a nightmare. They keep telling us it's on backorder yet I can purchase it from many different sites. That doesn't make sense.

Pros:
Cons: I purchase this bat in January and this is my second time being replaced due to denting. The first time I sent it back it took 4 weeks to get a new one which I didn’t understand because they were shipping out new ones all across the country. Now for the second one they are saying 2 weeks. Still Frustrating! I would not buy this bat!

Pros:
Cons: Could not list any pros since my son did not get a chance to hit enough balls with it. Dented in two places during second BP session. Sent it in for warranty two weeks ago and they are telling another 2-3 weeks minimum.

Ask QuestionIs the 30/20 stamped with BFI 1.15? And is there a difference between the youth and senior bats?
Asked by TC on Feb 10, 2012
Yes. This bat does have the USSSA stamp. Youth bats have a 2 1/4" barrel and the senior league bats have 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" barrels. This bat has a 2 3/4" barrel.

How will this bat compare to the Rival in performance (pop and swing ratio)? And will this bat dent easily?
Asked by Paul on Jan 29, 2012
This is going to be very similar in performance and construction. The Velo is designed to have a lower swing weight. We have not heard any feedback about these bats denting easier than any other models.

Asked by CT on Jan 25, 2012

what is the difference between this bbcor and the one with grey writing?
Asked by t on Dec 20, 2011
The 5150 VELO features an incredibly lightweight design and thinner walls to help players increase their swing speed and hit the ball further. This bat is made of the same material the 5150 has and this bat will be just as durable.
