Some players adjust to the game. David Ireland makes the game adjust to him.
The David Ireland Signature DDT Blackout is a 2-piece Kevlar monster engineered for the player who already knows where the ball is going before it leaves the bat. The 12.5-inch barrel is wide, forgiving, and absolutely loaded — with a .75 oz endload that rewards a full, aggressive cut with the kind of carry that makes outfielders take a step back before you even make contact.
DDT is the engineering behind why this bat hits different. By distributing energy across both pieces of the construction at contact, every swing transfers maximum force directly into the barrel — no dead spots, no energy bleed, no excuses. Pair that with a zero-flex handle that kills vibration dead, and you've got a 2-piece that swings like a weapon and feels like a handshake.
David Ireland's signature is on this bat because it was built to perform at his level. Now it's yours.

OPTION GUIDE: Should I order this bat stock/untouched or Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure?
ANSWER: If you order your new bat Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure, it will be delivered to you completely and evenly broken in. This process adds 20-40ft of distance to your solid hits, improves consistency, increases durability and adds 2-3 business days of lead time to your order. If you plan to use the bat in an official game or event, please verify the legality of our process with your league or sanctioning body before use. We (LongballBats.com) do not encourage the use of a Heat Rolled bat in any game or event where it is against the rules. Click here for details about our process!
