The -12 is the 'drop' of the bat and means the number of ounces the bat weighs is 12 less than the number of inches the bat is in length.

How does drop affect a softball bat?
The drop is the second most important thing in sizing a player with a new bat. First is the proper length. Once you determine that, the player should swing the heaviest bat she can get around quickly. That's not to say the heaviest bat, but the heaviest bat she can get good bat speed with. For most high school age girls with above average ability that's -10 or even -9. For high school players with average or below (less than a .300 batting average) as well as younger girls the drop should probably be about -11 or -12. As stated before, the first thing to find out is the proper length. To do that click the Bat Sizing Guide link http://www.aluminumbats.com/batsizingguide-thebattersbox.aspx What is the drop?

Therefore, a 31" would weigh 21 ounces, a 32" would weigh 22 ounces and so on.

Drop = (weight of bat in oz) - (length of bat) Wood bats have a natural drop of -3, so: (-3) = (weight of bat in oz) - (34) 31 oz = weight of a 34 inch wood bat. In the MLB, that's the minimum weight of a bat. That's why corked bats are illegal, because they weigh less and give a more negative drop (which is an advantage).
