Learn About Youth & Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bats


Junior big barrel baseball bats are Coach Pitch bats. These bats are meant only to be used in Coach Pitch Leagues because they're intended to help young players learn how to swing a lightweight bat. These bats have a big barrel so that young players can easily hit a baseball. On the other hand, youth big barrel bats are baseball bats used for the key transition from Junior Big Barrel to BBCOR. There are two types of youth big barrel bats: USA Baseball-approved bats and USSSA baseball-approved bats.


How to Choose the Right Youth & Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat for You


When making your selection for a youth or junior big barrel bat, prioritize selecting the bat's length and weight. Refer to our bat buying guide to ensure you find the right bat length. Regarding weight, choose from options like -5, -8, or -10, considering the player's age and experience. Use our bat buying guide for assistance in making this decision. Once you've determined the appropriate length and weight, opt for a specific bat material. You can choose between an aluminum or composite bat, available in either one-piece or two-piece designs. One-piece bats offer a firm feel on contact, ensuring efficient energy transfer, yet they may transfer more vibrations to the hands. On the other hand, two-piece bats provide some flexibility, leading to a more pronounced whip during contact, usually featuring a larger barrel and reducing vibrations. Also, take into account the rules of the league you're playing in. Assess the pros and cons of each option and select the one that best suits your style of play.
