It varies from player to player. Each player chooses the size and weight of his bat. Some players prefer a heavier bat with a thicker barrel. Some players prefer a thinner, lighter bat. And the weight can be distributed differently throughout the bat, so that the handle is thicker or thinner, or the barrel is thicker or thinner. Sometimes players will change bat sizes or shapes depending on how they're feeling at that particular time. Most players use a bat that weighs between 30 and 34 ounces. The bats are usually between 32 and 36 inches long. But again, there is a lot of variation in bat size, weight, and how the weight is distributed throughout the bat (size of the barrel, size of the handle, etc.). For example, Alfonso Soriano is reputed to use a bat that weighs 38 ounces. And Babe Ruth supposedly swung a bat that was 34 inches and weighed 42 ounces.

If you stop your baseball swing in the middle and the ball is not in the strike zone, an umpire will look at your wrists. If your wrists are "broken" it is a strike. That means the position of your wrists determine if you took a swing or not. If they are still in the same position as they normally are before you take a swing, you did not swing.
