Louisville Holz Baseballschläger aus Ahornholz. Model DJ2 Captain
With the Captain, you swing for rings. This version of the DJ2
features a navy to gray stain finish with a unique pinstripe center
brand decal. Previously known as the P72, this model was given its name
when Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter retired in 2014 after using the bat
his entire career. The DJ2 features a standard handle thickness and
longer barrel taper and was preferred by Jeter because it closely
resembled the aluminum bat he used in high school.
The
2020 MLB Prime lineup is 135 years in the making. Our team has applied
its extensive wood bat knowledge to develop a product that, from knob to
cup, is unmatched. Each of the 2020 models feature an easy-to-read knob
medallion embedded in the knob that indicates the MLB Prime grade of
wood, the species and the length, while the bat name and production date
is engraved in the surrounding area. These bats also now feature a
Craftsman-Style Cup, created specifically to curb breakage and maintain
hardness on contact. To give these bats an unparalleled look and feel,
the 2020 MLB Prime bats are all coated with our new 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, the 2020
MLB Prime bats are the finest Louisville Slugger bats created in over a
century of craftsmanship.

Bat Specs
The DJ2 was given its name when Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter
retired in 2014 after using the same turning model his entire career.
The model, previously known as the P72, appealed to Jeter because it
closely resembled the aluminum bat he used in high school and has a
medium-sized barrel for a bit more size than other, more balanced
models. It is a '3' (Slightly Balanced) on the Swing Weight Scale.
This
model is made with Maple, which is the species preferred by more than
70 percent of Major League players. Maple bats are known for their
surface hardness, unmatched sound and solid feel upon contact. The
closed grain structure of the Maple wood lends itself to a more durable
surface strength and stiffer feel. It has been stamped with an Ink Dot
to indicate the highest quality wood bat, meeting slope-of-grain
standards for play in Major League Baseball.
