What about Batting Gloves. I've noticed in the last few years, more and more players aren't using.

I've noticed that too. Unless it's cold outside. I wonder why the change?

Not sure, unless the grips are getting better or pine-tar, becoming a little more prevalent.

 

I have noticed and perhaps it's just me, but the newer bats seems to have slightly smaller handles.

I know a lot of kids like to "feel" the bat so they'd rather not use batting gloves. Personally, I was only a fan of wearing a glove under my fielders glove, to make it fit better. I love the feel of a bat in my bare hands...

Personally I still love my batting gloves! I feel naked at the plate without them! Nothing better than a good SOFT pair of gloves when your at the plate!

The composite bats are hard to beat.

Stealth Composite, stiff handle, was very popular on our team last year. Noticed a couple kids were driving the ball noticeably farther than they ever have.
