The length of a bat can vary greatly depending on the age and skill level of the player. Today, professional players are limited to bats of no more than 36". Amateur bats may range from 24" (or sometimes even smaller for very young children) to 36" with weights in the 20 oz. to 34 oz. range. Interestingly, it is reported that Babe Ruth used a mammoth 42"-54 oz. bat. And as recently as the 60's and 70's powerful hitters such as Willie McCovey used 40+ oz. bats.
