To obtain your optimum bat select a bat that is not too long/heavy or too short/light. A bat too short wont provide maximum power or barrel length, while a bat too long will be too difficult to handle and will also slow bat speed reducing power. First begin with selecting a length. If possible use the previous bat you swung to help establish a length. For example if you used a 30 in bat and now feel that you are ready to move on to a larger bat a 31 in could be the next step. You can also use the chart below for the average bat lengths based on your height, weight and age. The chart below is just a guide as each players strength and bat speed differ. While the chart below was primarily designed for baseball, we have found it works fairly well for fastpitch bat sizing too. For fastpitch, however, refer to only the player height and disregard the player weight. Also, see notes at the bottom for additional notes on fastpitch bat sizing.

Bat weight differs greatly depending on the age range and is usually referred to as the "drop" when associated with the length and weight. The drop is the difference between the length of the bat and the weight of the bat. For example if a bat is 30 in. long and weighs 20 oz. then the drop is 10. The larger the drop, the lighter the bat. The average bat drop can best be broken down by age range. Youth Bats (21/4 Inch barrel diameter) Average - drop 12 Power Hitter - drop 10 Senior League "Big Barrel" Bats (25/8 to 23/4 Inch barrel Diameter) For ages 12 and under, drop 10 is the average Over age 12 range from -10oz to -5oz depending on the players strength and bat speed. *Check with your local league or organization to find out if there are any restrictions on barrel diameter or bat weight.
