I watched my 12-year-old son in the batting cage this winter. It seems
he's getting the bat around too slow. I told him to try using a lighter
bat, but he likes his big barrel. What's the best method for making sure
a kid has the right size bat?
SAM LYNCH, Leander, Texas
Dear Sam // Which bat to use is an individual choice. Out of necessity,
most kids will find a bat that allows them to swing quickly enough to be
successful at their level of play. No kid wants to go up to home plate
and consistently miss pitches because he or she can't get the bat around
fast enough. Unfortunately, kids are kids and need adult guidance for a
reason. A kid might think that a big, heavy bat will make the ball go
farther, or he might have heard that his favorite pro uses a heavy bat.
You might want to let him know that some of the greatest power hitters in
the game today, like Alex Rodriguez, use some of the lightest bats out
there so they can generate greater bat speed.
Hitting should be the most enjoyable part of baseball. We don't want our
kids to get frustrated because their bat is too big and they are not
having success at that plate. One good way to determine if a bat is too
big for your child is to ask him or her to take a normal stance and then
swing as hard as possible. After the swing is completed, ask your child
to try to reload and get back in to the batting stance as quickly as
possible. If the swing causes your child to lose balance, makes your
child spin around or prevents your child from returning to the original
stance, there is a good chance that it is too heavy. The kid should swing
the bat; the bat shouldn't swing the kid.
