March 14, 201610 yr Ms Slick son is 9 and looking for a bat. He has used other teammates bats in the past, so I was wanting to know what I should look to buy? I'm guessing about 29 inches? The league he plays in is not sanctioned Little League and is coach pitch, but he will also play a little travel ball that is kid pitch. What's everyone swinging?
March 14, 201610 yr Author I was always around baseball/softball fields until about 5 years ago, so when I started watching Ms Slick son play last year and his Dad was help coach I watched from the outfield. So I have no clue what bats are used or considered hot nowadays?
March 14, 201610 yr How big is he and how strong does he whip the bat through the zone? In my experience bat size should correlate with their ability to control it. At 9, they are typically hitting kid pitch for close to the first time, so I would think a 28/17 would be about right. I certainly wouldn't be spending a whole lot of money on anything at age 9, and to be LL eligible they must have the LL stamp and be no wider than 2 1/4". Easton makes plenty of good lower end LL bats.
March 16, 201610 yr I would get a 29"/17oz. Here's 2 real good choices. 216 Easton S5C Youth Baseball Bat: YB16S5C Louisville Slugger Catalyst Youth Baseball Bat: YBCT152
