A Guide, Not a RuleThese charts are a starting point, not a final answer. Two players the same height can swing different bats depending on strength, swing and what feels right in their hands. The best way to know is to swing a couple of lengths in our demo cage.
High School & College
BBCOR Bats
All BBCOR bats are -3 drop. The goal is finding the longest bat you can still swing with full speed. When in doubt, go shorter.
| Height | Weight | Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 5'4" | Under 140 lbs | 29"–30" | Prioritize bat speed |
| 5'4"–5'7" | 140–160 lbs | 30"–31" | Common for HS freshmen |
| 5'7"–5'10" | 160–185 lbs | 31"–32" | Most common Most Common |
| 5'10"–6'1" | 185–210 lbs | 32"–33" | Upperclassmen Most Common |
| 6'1"–6'4" | 210–225 lbs | 33"–33.5" | Max for most HS players |
| 6'4"+ | 225+ lbs | 33.5"–34" | Proven bat speed required |
Our Take on 34" BatsWe almost never put a high school player in a 34". Unless you are 6'4" and 225 lbs or bigger with proven bat speed, a 33" will serve you better. Most HS players swinging a 34" are giving up exit velocity without knowing it. Come in and we will put you on both in the cage.
BTL TipWhen in doubt, go shorter. Bat speed wins every time. Come swing both lengths in our demo cage and you will know in 10 swings.
