After years of shock and awe driven mostly by the cleats on-field at the All-Star Game and Derby, the story of the 2017 All-Star week for me is definitely the bats.

Of course you saw Gary Sanchez’ Kraken Victus APV, which probably would have carried El Gary to an all-Yanks final if he had actually used it! This work of art was laser engraved by @smuglabs, and basically broke the internet. It made the front page of Reddit and got at least a billion RT’s.

Not sure if you heard but Aaron Judge hits home runs. Last night he hit more than anybody with this air-brushed Chandler AJ99.2 Maple. 35 inches, 33 ounces of bone-rubbed swag.
Louisville Slugger got in on the action, too, with a sexy little gradient fade they’re calling “Supra,” and they’ve actually made it available in their most popular cut, the 271. You can buy this bat in 33″ or 32″ here while supplies last.
Absolutely sick paint job on this one, too. I have to say, though, if you’re gonna hit with this thing, you better BANG.
Bats so hot right now. Bats.
