Well, what size bat should my 12 year old use?
For 12-13 year olds playing Pony, Junior, or Senior League level, we recommend a youth bat length-to-weight ratio of -5. For example, a 31” bat weighs 26 ounces. This drop weight gives the young hitter a very manageable weight transition between a youth bat and a high-school age bat.
Without doubt, what size softball bat should a 13 year old use? The right size bat for a 13 year old depends on their league. If its BBCOR then the most common bat size is a 31/28 followed by the 32/29. If you're in USSSA or USA then the right bat size for most 13 year olds is a 32/27.
