Three-piece hybrid USA Baseball bat with a 2 5/8 inch barrel, offered at drop -5 in 30 to 33 inch lengths. The page states a balanced swing weight.

PiecesThree-piece
Drop−5
What this means

Drop is length minus weight: a 30 in, 20 oz bat is a -10. A bigger drop number means a lighter bat for its length. Younger players use -10 to -13; USSSA 13U is usually capped at -5; high school and college are -3.

Tip: Check the drop your league allows before you look at anything else.

Barrel2 5/8
Lengths30, 31, 32, 33 in
BalanceBalanced
What this means

Weight is spread evenly, so the bat feels lighter than its number. A player who uses the knob or handle to deliver the barrel often needs the weight balanced or down toward the hands. Balance is not barrel size: some big-barrel bats are balanced.

Tip: Which one is right depends on your player and how consistently they deliver the barrel.

Sizes30/25; 31/26; 32/27; 33/28
CertificationUSA (in product name)
What this means

Required in Little League Majors and below, Cal Ripken, PONY, Dixie and most rec leagues for players 14 and under. Barrel up to 2-5/8 in, no drop limit.

Tip: If your league says USA bat, a USSSA bat will be turned away at the plate.
