The Louisville Slugger Pro Prime Alloy Fungo (-13) Bat is a lightweight training bat designed for baseball and softball coaches who need to execute repetitive defensive drills with precision and reduced physical strain. Featuring a Light Blue finish, this single bat is engineered specifically for coach-tossed ball contact rather than live pitching, allowing instructors to place ground balls and fly balls accurately to infielders and outfielders during practice sessions. Its streamlined construction delivers consistent responsiveness while keeping the overall weight manageable, supporting extended drill rotations without excessive arm or shoulder fatigue. The extended profile and balanced feel help coaches generate the loft and direction needed to simulate game-like scenarios, from shallow pop flies to deep outfield drives. Ideal for team practices, pre-game warmups, and individual fielding workouts, this fungo bat serves as an essential training tool for coaches at the youth, high school, and recreational levels who want to maximize defensive repetitions while maintaining their own stamina throughout the session.
