Bat length/weight recommendation

For those that actually care about the original point of this thread, I ordered the 30/20 Rawlings 5150 Exogrid. I got it for 50 bucks plus 7 shipping, not too bad for what was a $200 bat. Justbats.com was selling the same one for $100.

Not a bad choice. What year is it? You need to make sure it is labled 1.15 BPF or it is very likely a banned bat.

It's the 2012 and in the description it says:
Product Features
2 1/4" barrel Exogrid youth baseball bat
Larger sweet spot and better feel with Exogrid with Ph.D technology
Superior durability with 5150 alloy
BPF 1.15 approved for Little League and all other associations
Ultra responsive 5150 alloy barrel

I've read in several places it's LL legal. Of course in the 9-10yo league (Minor) I don't believe they follow the rules or care. I've never seen anyone check a bat.

You are good with a 2012 bat. Great deal and good choice on the bat size. Umpires know which bats are legal and do check. If your daughter makes a really nice hit, opposing coaches will ask that the bat be checked. The older bats used to be Little League approved so, of course, those bats say Little League Approved, but are no longer legal.

Does it say that girls can use it? LOL. How can people be so narrow-minded? I hope she hits a thousand home runs with it. And I'm thinking that a woman plays in the majors within the next decade.

[clayadams]

LOL, thanks Heineken. I doubt we'll see any women in the pros anytime soon, but that's a topic that I don't want to be rehashed in here. I will say that one of the biggest ways it's gonna happen is as a knuckleball pitcher. My girl can already throw a pretty convincing one with zero backspin, just gotta learn how to kill the screw spin she puts on it. Still has a nice drop to it though!

Where did you get it? I am looking for a good, cheap 29/19 practice bat?

--Please get back on topic. Girls playing youth baseball is a reality and has been for many years. When someones asks for advise on an issue for their girl they should be able to get the same respectfull help they would if they were asking for advise for their boy - not an editorial on whether their girls should be playing at all.

Everyone gets so defensive about this topic. Conversations move around a bit. Something of interest comes up and everyone acts like it's forbidden to discuss. I started another thread. Not sure why few panties are getting bunched up over it???

What are you implying with this remark? :hyper:

Here's the link to the bat: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...seller=&sr=1-8 Looks like they have it in 29/19. It's through Amazon so hopefully it's legit!

2011-2012 should be ok especially if it is not a composite barrel. Please note that this is the Rawlings EXO and not the Louisville EXO

Just got the bat today, exactly as promised. Seems pretty well balanced. Out to the cage in a few to let the kid try it out.
