What sizes do bats come in?

Answer 1

Bats come in many different sizes. The size is determined by the bats length and weight in ounces. The difference between the length and weight is call the drop, and is often displayed as a minus sign then a number. For example, a 32in/22oz bat would be a -10 drop bat. A 32in/29oz bat would be a -3 drop.

Different leages and age ranges have different requirements.

Tee ball bats are generally 24 - 26 inches in length with a drop of about -10 to -12.5

Youth bats are usually 26 - 32 inches in length with a drop of about -10 to -13.5

Senior League bats are about 30 - 32 inches in length with a drop of about -8 to -10. Senior league bats often have a big barrel design (up to 2 5/8)

Adult bats are usually 31 - 34 inches in length and always have a drop of -3
