An ode to The Captain, the MLB Prime DJ2 baseball bat is fashioned to the same specifications preferred by Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter. Formerly known as the P72, the Maple DJ2 boasts a medium-sized barrel, a longer barrel taper and standard handle thickness – a build comparable to Jeter’s performance bat from high school. The latest C271’s high-gloss black finish is all business, and metallic silver Seamless Decals steal the spotlight when you’re racking up hits.

• MLB Maple
• Turning Model: DJ2

• Craftsman-Style Cup: Our completely re-engineered Craftsman-Style Cup features a thicker width edge along the end of the barrel, lending added strength and durability to the end of the bat to help reduce chipping and cracking.
• 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.
• Knob Medallion: New 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medallions have been embedded in the knob, clearly show the identifying characteristics of your bat and replacing outdated etching that has been previously used.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.
• 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.
