Just googled each of these bats... they are pretty much around the price Rawlings is selling them for. They don't appear to be $280 ANYWHERE on the internet, just FYI.

Great find! I wish there were some fast pitch bats discounted like that.

your kid would have to be a BEAST to use a 32" drop 5 in little league (USA). Or am I thinking wrong?

You're not wrong. That's a big, heavy bat.

Our 8th grade 14U program requires a drop 5. My son is average height and he uses a 32".

The problem is that it is a one year bat. For high school he would need a BBCOR. That makes these deals great for anyone that needs them.

Edit: I also noticed that my son found it heavy for the first day but then got used to the drop 5 almost immediately.

Thank you. Checkout was slow.

I ended up buying one a year before we needed it. At this price, it is a good deal even for a practice bat.

Here in Dixie League, we are limited to USA bats. I ended up grabbing a 30" drop 5 just in case he has a growth spurt this winter. Maybe I'll put him on a bulking program. He'll be 10 in November, so by spring ball in February of 2024, he should be a beast.

Is that 2021 -3 a good bat for Men's leagues? a $380 bat for $80 sounds like a steal, unless it's a dud lol

I bought that bat for my kid a couple months ago for 70 bucks. He's only taken BP with it, and I've hit it off the tee. I really like the feel and weight distribution. Really good pop (for BBCOR!).
And that being said, our junior high teams are required max drop of 3. It's a really big change for 11 and 12 year olds. But my pip-squeak kid handled the change really well. YMMV. Technique matters!

Little league is U.S.A. Bats. BBCOR comes into play with 7th grade and up. Well, here in the Philly suburbs.

Another tip to help, if your son continues to run into heavier bats as he progresses. I used to take a sledgehammer, do a super slow and controlled swing. As slow as possible, choke up if it's too heavy and move down the handle as he gets stronger. 👍

Where did you get it for $70? Is this not a good deal then?
