Ideal Bat Weight for 13 year old


Posted by: John W. () on Sun Nov 9 18:22:07 2008


I am trying to decide what size bat to get my son for next season...he will be playing 13 year old Major travel. As a 12 year old he swung a 31" 23 oz. liquid plasma. Now that he will be 13 he can still use a minus 8 drop bat but I was debating whether I should move him up to a minus 5 since he will be required to swing that heavy of a bat when he is 14. My son is about 5'6" and 135 pounds so he is a pretty good size 13 year old. Any recommendation...should I go with the lightest bat he is able to use or should I move him up to the heavier bat?

Thanks for your help.
