We played a 10U tourney this weekend and the kids struggled at the plate. For the most part, the pitching was much slower than the kids have been facing in league ball for the last 2 months (11-12yr pitching). Most of the kids were hitting off their front foot.
While most kids have been swinging -12's and -13's bats to catch up to the faster kids during league.
The question, is it a bad idea to change bat weights depending on the pitchers speed?
These kids are seeing on average 55-65mph from the 12's and 11's in league.
During this 10u tourney they were seeing 45-55. Would it be OK to push the heavier bats when we see the slower pitching?
