Hello, i am an entering freshman who is going to play college baseball this year. With all of this recent talk about bat weight i was wondering if anyone could tell me how heavy a bat i should use. I have been using a 34inch 31 once bat simply because it was what most of the other kids on my high school and summer ball team used.

However, i am a lot stronger then these kids and as i look forward to college i think one way i can improve my hitting is simply by using a heavier bat that i can still handle. to give you an idea i am 5' 11 200lbs bench 285 deadlift 450. So i was thinking maybe a 34 33 or 34 34. but i am not really sure, anyone who has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
