Christian Yelich channeled his California roots and designed his very own ocean blue baseball bat 

Christian Yelich can do it all. Last year's NL MVP Award winner has started this year where he left off. Entering Wednesday's action, Yelich was hitting .409 with four home runs, and a penchant for clutch hits that almost defies belief.

Now, Yelich is done just swinging a bat, he's taken up designing them, too. He put his stamp on a new version of his Louisville Slugger model.

The bat's a cool blue with a swirling look inside the Louisville Slugger logo. It channels the beaches from Yelich's California home of Thousands Oaks, Calif.

That extends to the bat knob which features the Zuma Beach lifeguard station:

Though Yelich swings a black bat in games, he's planning on using the Brewers uniform-matching model during Players' Weekend.

You can check out Yelich talking about designing the bat in the video below:
