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).
