Tinicum, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2018 -- Bats Plus, one of the most reliable distributors of baseball and softball bats and other related equipment in the United States, is providing guidelines to help parents choose the right bat for their child.
Before anything else, Bats Plus encourages consumers to look through the specific regulations of the tournament or league the player will be in. All leagues below high school age come with their own bat regulations, and it's not unheard of for parents to purchase a bat for their child only to find out that it doesn't meet the league's regulations.
The significance of a player's age, height, and weight make a difference, too. High school baseball players are normally required to use drop 3 BBCor certified bats, while many youth leagues require bats that have the USA certification stamp or the USSSA stamp. A player's height and size will determine the bat's ideal length; this can be easily found by consulting a bat sizing chart.
Excluding wood, there are four basic types of material combinations that kid's baseball bats are made of; 100% alloy, 100% composite carbon fiber, alloy handle with a composite barrel, and composite handle with an alloy barrel. There are large variations in price between the low price point bats and the high-quality high price point bats, so it's important to decide which price point is best for you.
Lower price point bats are normally good for kids who may not play competitively or seriously, or who will outgrow the bat in a short period. More competitive kids may need the higher end bats so that they won't be at a disadvantage to the other players. Bats will normally fall inside a range $99 and $499. In general, there is a noticeable performance difference between the low and high price points.
