A baseball bat that is perfect for one 10 year old might not be so ideal for another 10 year old. Children grow at different rates and their weight can vary greatly. The best way to find the best bat for your child is to choose one based on their age, height and weight. There’s a really good baseball bat sizing chart at www.baseballcorner.com that can give you a better idea of the length and weight of the bat that is best suited for your childs size.
