What size bat should I buy for 2nd grade boy? He weighs 60-70 lbs and is about 3 1/2 - 4 feet tall.

Just a quick follow up, we bought one for our daughter who is 4' 6", 60-70lbs in 5th grade. We bought her a 29" 19 oz DeMarini, also called a drop 10 (-10). It's a good length and weight. You can find some good deals on these bats and if it's a starter, he will keep changing bats as his skill progresses. Good luck

The first thing you need to know is what your league regulations are. At his age I would think nothing over 2-1/4" diameter, but then the next important factor is what he can comfortably swing. If a bat is too large he will compromise his form trying to get it thru the zone. Try contacting your local league and maybe go to a local batting cage and see if they have professionals giving batting instructions. Hope this helps

Take him to a store and have him stand over each size...the sizes are fairly standard and you can make sure the size is the correct size for your son's safety and comfort

000 should just fit, 00 might be a little big but he'll have room to grow. My 3 are all around 45 pounds, so they are a little smaller than your grandson and they are in 000, and it fits a little loose with plenty of room to grow.

I bought the 4x6 for my 10 year old, but my 4 year old uses them too. He'll be able to grow into them, but the 2x3 would be more size appropriate.

All depends on her strength and length of the bat. The lighter the bat, the quicker the bat speed. If your daughter is playing travel ball, she should have no problem with a -11. Bat speed is what you want. My daughter (14 yrs old)was swinging at 32/22 (-10) and I want to get her a longer bat because she grew a couple inches. I went to a 33/22 (-11) and it's perfect. She is able to control it with no problem.

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

Toddler size should be fine. As I recall this costume was a little smaller than the others. The muscles are batting or some materail like batting. Totally flexible.

A baseball bat. My grandson is in Little League. He asked for it, or maybe his coach did.

I got this bat for my 10 year old but I certainly would have purchased this bat for him when he was 9.30 inch / 17 ounceEaston YB14S500 S500 Youth Baseball Bat

I feel it would be. My son was 12 at the time he purchased it. We did notice an improvement in reaction time and better form due to the low weight to size ratio. Like anything tho good , dedicated practice and good equipment is key to improvement. My son is smaller than most 12 year olds on his team and I truly feel this bat was a big help for him

I bought a large for my 12 year old grandson....he is heavy set though. I would say small for the 7 yr. old and medium for the 12 year old, unless he is heavy set in which case I would go for the large. He loves them.

Yes, we bought this last year for our 9 year old son who pitches in tournament baseball. He is 10 now (4'8" 80 lbs) and it's plenty big to last him into his early teens.

My 6 year old hits it. I would say as early as they can understand how to swing bat properly. Also will depend on how tall. I put it on the shortest height for my six year old. It is like a ball high in the strike zone for him so it's not the ideal down the middle height but it works.

I bought it for an average size 7-8 year old. Would depend on your boys size

Same here, my son has had his two years age 2 now 3. you can tighten it and loosen a bit go with the chest measurement for choices between small and medium You will get more time out of it. Works great
