Little League has some strict rules about the diameter of bats that can be used in games, is this bat OK to use in Little League?

Michael, I have no idea. I did a sports themed bedroom for my nine year old son this summer and used these bats for the bed railing and as a curtain rod. So I didn't purchase them for the purpose of using them in Little League. Sorry.

I do not know. My son plays in a local PAL league and I've never seen a coach or umpire challenge the use of any equipment. I woud have to laugh if I saw a George Brett pine tar style episode take place over the diameter of a bat in little league. But I suppose rules are rules.

Yeah.... I don't know. I only bought it to use if someone tries to break into the house. Unfortunately, the attacker will probably get it away from me before I can get a good swing in. Its a nice bat and if I never use it I can give it to my grandson. I will check and see if it says anything on it that it is ok for Little League. It just says "Grand Slam Youth Baseball" and someones autograph. Also says "Powerized" and "Louisville Slugger" Louisville, Kentucky. Made in USA. I just read "Little League bylaws limit the size of any bat to 33 inches in length and 2 1/4 inches in diameter. This one is 29" and 2 1/4" diameter. I believe it is ok for Little League then!

Yes, we use wood, metal and wiffle bats at the house and or practice. Hitting wiffleballs, softballs, baseballs and tennis balls so far. It's a good T to have for the price. You really can't go wrong with it with young hitters.

From what the "experts" say, 31 inch bats are suited better for the 11-12 year old players. That is considering they are average weight and height. Even if your son was a little above average for his age group I would consider something a little shorter. I think a 29" would be as long as I would go for his age. A good test would be to visit a sports store with similar weight/length bats and have him test his swing, grip, and stance. The good thing about this particular bat is that is extremely light for its size but I still think a 31" would be a bit much. Good luck

Yes. It is a larger barrel with a 2 and 5/8" diameter at the end. This is the widest barrel for most Pony Baseball lower division leagues.

Hi Lori, it is approved for Little League division that my son plays in, so I'm assuming that it would be Dixie approved also. I'm not familiar with that organization. I hope I helped somewhat. I know my 7yr. old son loves the bat and it has great pop. I do not think you'll be disappointed.

I really don't know why they advertised it that way. My son used it with an aluminum bat and it worked just fine. The only thing we can think of is if you would hit the post with either bat you could damage the bat.

It was for us in North Carolina. Some states may have different regulations. It was a great bat for my son. The light weight really helped his reaction time , contact with the ball just comes with practice. Good luck.

Yes...my 12 year old used this bat during the 2014 baseball season and had great success with the new bat.

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

Yes you can hit baseballs. It's all I use it for. And you can hit them as far or a close as you eant depending on players ability level.

My son has used this bat for little league in the spring and now is using it in the fall little league season. He is 11. So yes it is legal.

I use it for my little leaguer who is 12 now. It works great if you are behind the plate or behind the pitcher(hard to get this seat except in bullpen).

31 inch is probably a little long for an 8-1/2 year old, but it's really more of a matter of the length/weight ratio, and what he is comfortable swinging. My son didn't move to a 30 inch size bat until he was 10, and just started using 31 inch this past year.

I don't know that you can really go wrong with a ball from 5-9 inches. I have a 2 and a 4 year old and we have several different sizes. Probably their favorite one is about 6 or 7 inches inches in size. It is good for kicking and two handed throwing. I had bought an 8.5 inch one for my 6 year old nephew, but both girls can play with it too.

i don't have my daughters bats with me now. I know it held both her slow pitch and fast pitch bats. Sorry, unsure of bat sizes.

I bought this bat for my 15yr old daughter last fall. She has used it with the machine and weighted balls and has had no problems. She loves this bat, has hit 2 out of the park with it so far.

No. It's not big enough to hold any regulation sized baseball or softball. It's a mini version of the actual Gold Glove. It's really cool.
