- Bats are measured using
a length to weight ratio, the negative number represents how many ounces a
bat weighs compared to its length in inches. For example, a 34" bat that weights
29 oz is a -5. The largest ratio is in the range of -13 (for Youth bats) while
college and high school bats are restricted to a -3

bat weight largely depends on personal preference. Large, strong hitters commonly
prefer heavier bats that afford added swing power. Smaller players with less
strength might consider lighter bats for better control and quicker swings

or College player your bat must meet the BBCOR standard. All Baseball Savings
