A -2 wood bat is heavier than a -3 wood bat. The numbers indicate the bat's drop weight, which is the difference between its length in inches and its weight in ounces. A lower drop weight (like -2) means the bat is closer in weight to its length, making it heavier compared to a bat with a higher drop weight (like -3).

What is the weight of a 32 inch wood bat?
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).
Why is it hard to adjust a wooden bat?

A heavier bat will carry itself better when you hit the ball, ecspecially if you can get good bat speed. That's the reason people get heavier bats.
