'Drop' is a term used with bats and is the difference in the weight and length of a bat. Subtract the length (in inches) from the weight (in ounces) to determine the drop. A bat that is 30 inches long and weighs 35 ounces would have a drop of 5. A bat that is 35 inches long and weighs 30 ounces would have a drop of -5. Most bats have a negative drop.

The drop of the bat is the difference between the length minus the weight. For example, if a bat is 33" long and it weighs 30 ounces, then the drop is -3.

College baseball has a drop zone regulation of no lighter than -3.
