I’m a dad, so all advice is welcome.
My son (13) is looking at some changes this year. His current Spring team allows a -5 bat, his summer travel team requires -3, and his fall team will be wood.
I have been pitching BP to him twice a week since mid-March. He hits 15 off the tee with the -3, then hits 100 at BP with the -5. He started hitting some of his BP with the -3 switching every 25 pitches or so, but this seemed to do more harm than good, so we’re back to just the -5 for BP.
He loves the -5, and regularly gets extra base hits. I figured that he would switch to the -3 for the last 2 weeks of the Spring league. Then I would have him hit 15 off the tee with a (-3) Baum bat I just bought for him, and toss him 100 at BP with the -3. We would do this until 2 weeks before the fall league starts. All these bats are 32 inches.
Are there any comments, suggestions, additions to this plan? Thanks.
