The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst SL12C Senior League baseball bat is a -11 length to weight ratio and is legal for use in 2012 wherever USSSA is played.
You can only find the 2012 Catalyst bat in two different versions. Senior League and Youth League.
I think that makes this bat special because I would consider it rare. The price point is a bit lower too so I would say it’s affordable.
The question remains though. Is this a quality bat?
I’d like to answer that for you so keep reading to find out.

2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst Bat Design
(Back to Top)
This 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst -11 baseball bat is made out of C1C composite for the whole bat including the handle. It’s considered a one-piece bat.
I’m not a huge fan of tricked out graphics but this one is subtle enough but still cool looking.
The barrel is black with some white lettering and some gold and blue borders. There is some design to it as well. There is a baseball and wings.
The handle area has a neat design to it as well. It’s gold with hints of black.
The endcap is black with the Louisville Slugger logo.
The knob is gold with the company logo and length of bat.
Printed on the barrel is the USSSA stamp.

Pros & Cons
(Back to Top)
Pros:
Even though there aren’t any reviews for this bat on Amazon I have read several things online about this bat.
What I like about the comments was that it was mostly dads talking about this bat. They were very pleased with it and said their sons were hitting bombs with the bat.
One dad mentioned that this was the perfect bat for travel ball.
I personally like the design and thing the price point currently is a great deal.
Cons:
I don’t have hardly anything bad to say about this bat. The one thing I’m not a fan of is the color of the knob. It’s gold but it’s a different gold than on the barrel. It sort of stands out.
