Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
The page describes a youth model with a maximum barrel diameter of 2.25 inches, as required by youth baseball organizations. It offers maple and birch wood in lengths 25 to 30 inches and states the finished weight will be approximately 5 ounces less than the length.
| Wood | Maple or birchWhat this meansMaple. Dense and hard, the most common pro wood. Hits hard and holds up when the player squares the ball up; breaks rather than flakes when mis-hit. Quality varies a lot by maker. Tip: Maple from a good maker is the best wood bat money can buy; maple from a cheap one is the worst. Birch. Softer than maple and more forgiving of mis-hits; hardens with use. A good choice for a first wood bat and for younger players. |
|---|---|
| Drop | approximately 5 ounces less than the lengthWhat this meansDrop 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. |
| Barrel | maximum barrel diameter of 2.25 inchesWhat this meansA thinner barrel (under about 2.45 in on a wood bat), with less wood to hit with. Its size does not decide the balance: some skinny-barrel bats are end-loaded. |
