Would this be good for a 9 year old in the minor league?

Not sure what the requirements are for your 9 year old, but the bat has the stamp on it necessary for league play, so I'm assuming it would be fine for you as well. This really is a great-hitting bat.

I got one of this (32"/24ounces) for my son (he is in Travel League) and it is really good for him. My son is 12 at the time and he is a big kid (5'6"). You can choose the size of the bat depending on how tall and the strength your son has so make sure you know the length and size that is good for him. My kid love this bat.

Before I answer. The assumption is, the reason for getting this item in the first place is because you're not good at using a real bat. With that said, yes it's effective for 13-14 yr olds as you can get some height and distance on the ball. It does take some practice using it but you should get it within one session. This is still not a replacement for using a real bat, but good for form teaching/practicing. Hope this helps.

This bat is perfect for my 10 yr old grandson. He is 90lb and about 4' 9" tall

I would recommend a good 20 get for maximum effectiveness. .. But is dependent on strength of throw into it. My son is 9 and 20 feet is minimum.

I do not think it would be big enough for a nine year old. It is perfect size for my daughter who is almost 5.

Yes it would be good enough for young adults. Just like any other tee; it won't last long if you are just beating on the tee. A decent hitter with a decent swing will get plenty of use out of this tee.

I would think so. More money but Jugs is the way to go. It's a very durable rubber. I spent money on 2 other ones for my boys in the past and I don't think either lasted more than a couple weeks. It's not the cheapest.....but worth the money; especially if you think your kid will stick with baseball. Good luck!

My daughter who is 9 is using a composit bat and I've takin some good swings with her bat and haven't seen nothing wrong with the bat. Now I wouldn't say over time it won't ruin the bat. The best way to use this machine is not to power swing but to hit it around 75%. It's more about hand eye coordination and muscle memory and the right way to swing... Swinging to hard makes the ball jump around instead of an even swing around the pole... Overall I'm really happy with it

I think so. I gave this to my niece who was 12 or 13 at the time. She had been on a bb team the year before & wanted this to help improve. She loved it!

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 grandson is 3 he loves it I would think a 9-10 year old would be bored with this size because of the speed factor . If you are looking at this for yours I would probably look at a small 4 wheeler the price would be around 200.00 to 300.00 more than this but they would be able to ride it longer and do more with it

We brought it for our 7 year old and it's been pretty good. It may be a tad small for a 9 year old. Unless he's a beginner skater. It would be fun as part of an obstacle course with other things possibly...? Hope that helps.

Yes, our 9 year old really likes it. It's best with some kind of target, but it's definitely something him and the neighborhood kids play with often.

I played baseball all my life. This toy machine should help you develop some eye and hand coordination to be able to hit a pitched ball. It takes lots of practice and of course someone to show you the basics in all the aspects of the game such as catching , fielding and hitting a real pitched ball.

I wouldn't think so. It's definitely for younger kids. It's not that young teens couldn't use it, but they'd have to play on their knees (that's what I do when I play with my 5 year old). Also, it's not super strong, so it will break after a player crashes into it once or twice. And isn't that exactly how young teens are going to play? =) For me personally, I'd go with something a little stronger, or make sure that they do the rough-housing out at center ice and not around the goal. Hope that helps!

No, I would stick to something smaller. I just bought this bat for my 13 year old and it fits him perfect!

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.
