Northside Baseball League Choosing the Right Bat and Glove for Your Player
In an article published in "Junior Baseball Magazine" written by Dave Destler, they gave some valuable information for choosing the right bat for your child. This may prove helpful for some parents as they shop for a new bat for the season ahead. In his article Mr. Destler uses a recent project completed by Worth's Inc. (a bat manufacturer) to determine what is the best bat for your child. He notes that the ideal bat weight for maximum hit ball speed is approximately one ounce lighter than the recommendations (in the following charts). The reason for this is that the research showed there is negligible loss of hit ball speed by reducing bat weight one ounce below the ideal, and increased bat control with the lighter weight more than compensates. The following show results:
Player Height - Best Bat Weight YOUTH 8 - 10 YEARS OLD 48 inches - 16oz. 50 inches - 16.5 oz. 52 inches - 17 oz. 54 inches - 17.5 oz. 56 inches - 18 oz. 58 inches - 18.5 oz. 60 inches - 19 oz.
YOUTH 11 - 12 YEARS OLD 70 lbs. - 18 oz. 80 lbs. - 19 oz. 90 lbs. - 19.5 oz. 100 lbs. - 20 oz. 110 lbs. - 20.5 oz. 120 lbs. - 21 oz. 130 lbs. - 21.5 oz. 140 lbs. - 22 oz. 150 lbs. - 23 oz.
Age 5-7 8-9 10 11-12 13-14
Bat Length 24"-26” 27"-29" 28"-30" 30"-31" 31"-32"
Here is a test that Mr. Destler describes to make sure that the bat is correct: "When you go shopping for a bat, have your child hold it out to his side with their top hand. If he/she cannot hold it straight for 20 seconds or so without the arm starting to shake or the bat dropping, it's too heavy." We hope that this helps you make the right bat choice for your player.
GLOVES: Glove control is critical to good defensive play and glove control is dependent upon "having a glove that fits the player's hand." Too large a glove is difficult to control, while too small a glove often lacks an adequate pocket to receive the ball easily. Physical size is of concern when choosing a properly fitting glove. Unlike clothing, it isn't advisable to buy a large glove that the youngster will grow into. The interim could be a defensive disaster. The glove size is expressed in inches. A glove is measured from heel of palm to finger tips. This measurement determines its size in inches. Choose carefully! Generally use the following chart from Rawlings: Age 3-6 years 7-9 years 7-9 years 10-13 10-13
Your hand should really determine the exact size of your glove. Make sure your glove fits your hand with a good secure and comfortable feeling, giving the hand extra strength and support while allowing enough freedom and room to manipulate within. Try on plenty of sizes to ensure the best fit.
