Quote from Barbados82 : Talk about setting the kid up for disappointment if he goes into High School/College baseball.

He is one of the top players on his Allstar A Pony league team. They are going to destroy everyone and he will be a big part of it. Rolling his bat was the best move we ever made. Kids need to learn young what it takes to win, and sitting back following rules isn't the way.

Quote from HenryWinkler187 : Who cares about legality? I have my son playing with a bat i rolled and then reattached the end cap. he hits the ball further and harder than anyone on the team and everyone is happy.

Teaching your kid good ethics there.

Imagine what he could do with some periodic HGH injections!

I'm sure there's stronger stuff than that out there! Have you ever seen Captain America?

Quote from Buckeyefan 1 : Too long, and much too heavy. You mean tee ball. Pee Wee is football (at least it used to be). If he's 5-6 years old, he needs a 26" bat and probably 15oz. Parent's always get their kids bats much too big for them, and they wonder why they can't hit. Take advantage of today's light weight bats (some are -11oz from the length). I've been coaching/umpiring/playing ball for over 30 years. Teach them proper mechanics with a light bat, so they can get around on the ball. When they get stronger, then move them to a heavier, longer bat. My older son is 9, and hits the ball a long way. He uses a 29" 20oz. Easton Hammer and hits the ball better than we did when we were 11. It's actually a bit heavy by today's standards (you can go 29" 16oz - but you'll lose power for speed with the light weight), but he's been playing for awhile and can get around on the ball quickly.

No, I mean Pee Wee.

Maybe it differs from state to state, but this is the way youth baseball is broken down where I live:

5-7 years old is Tee-ball or "Super" Pee Wee (modified rules. no strike outs, no runs, everyone hits)

8-9 years old is Pee Wee. Regular rules

10-12 years old is Little League.

13-14 years old is babe Ruth league.

14+ is High School.

I played through all of the different levels of play. My son is 7 years old, and should be in Super Pee Wee, but they were short this year on 8-9 year olds, and let the 7 year olds try out. My son was one of two 7 year olds chosen to play in regular Pee Wee (in addition to another six 7 year olds that were brought in automatically, without trying out, because their dad's were coaching the teams).

He currently uses a 26" 16oz (I think it is 16oz anyways) and it is just a bit too short. The weight is fine, but he could use it to be just a little longer. 27-28", and maintain a similar weight (16-18 oz) should be perfect.

Quote from deuce271 : These bats are a -3 (weight from length). -3 is for adult leagues (high school, legion, college, professional, etc.). If your son is 14 and playing in a Teener League (Junior High), those leagues allow bats that are -5. Given that your son is smaller, a -3 bat might not be the best for him unless he's pretty strong. Given his height though, were you to go for this bat, I'd get the smallest, 31" length bat. If your son isn't playing high school baseball yet, there's really no reason for him to be using a -3 bat. When I was 15 and playing high school baseball in the spring, I used a -3 bat (was the first year for the -3 rule), then summer time in Teener League, I went back to a -5 bat. From 16 on, it has been nothing but -3 bats for me.

Thanks for the advice. I think it would be better for me to take him to a store where he could actually try out the bats rather than take a chance at buying one online.

Piece of advice. If you want your kid to learn real baseball then you need to find a Pony League near you. Little League is a joke.

How is it a joke exactly? I played Little Laegue, my firends all played little league, and our parents all played little league. It was some of the best years of my childhood (my 12 year old year, we went 20-0).

And here I was thinking talent and work ethic was what it took to win. Sounds like someone attended the Barry Bonds School of Ethics.

In for one. Thanks.

Uh, Barry Bonds is a legend of the game and will forever be remembered whether u like him or not. He is the face of baseball. He is one of the greatest players to ever play the game and has made a ton of money doing it. If my son were to ever be a fraction of what Barry Bonds was I would be proud of him.

The bad thing is though, his legacy is also forever tarnished. You wont be able to bring his name up without first thinking about how great he was, then thinking about how he cheated to achieve that greatness.
