The 2026 Louisville Slugger A51 Atlas BBCOR -3 baseball bat special edition brings the outrageous to the field and pairs it with out-of-this-world performance. Easily mistaken for advanced alien tech, Atlas delivers absurd bat speeds with its 1-piece EVOKE Alloy Barrel – designed with thousands of AI simulations for optimal exit velocities no matter where contact is made. Tuned Mass Damper technology absorbs vibrations before they reach the hands, while the Pro Design Knob Taper improves comfort and leverage on every cut. With a design depicting a UFO abduction, it’s time to let the pitcher know you do not come in peace.

Barrel Reconditioning Service
Homerun Derby Bats is the first and only bat shaving company offering a 2 stage barrel reconditioning service to 1 piece alloy BBCOR bats without internal performance limiting collars. The Atlas is one of these style bats that does not have any rings, inserts or sleeves restricting the bats performance. Our reconditioning service improves the hitting surface allowing slightly more rebound at impact. Expected gains from the service will be in the 10-20ft range depending on exit velocity vs the same bat stock. Granted this is not a huge change in performance like what removing a restrictor can bring to an alloy bat or from shaving of a composite bat, but a few feet can make all the difference to someone who is on the fence line.
