Success at the plate often comes down to this: making consistent hard contact against live pitching. To do this, it’s important to swing the right bat for you. That means a bat that’s long enough to cover the strike zone, light enough to swing with ease, heavy enough to generate power, and, of course, permitted in your league. In order to find the ideal size for you, consider the following guidelines:
Bat length is measured in inches from knob to end cap. A longer bat gives you greater reach, allowing you to hit balls on the outside part of the plate. However, longer bats also tend to have more mass towards the end of the bat that requires more power to swing them. We recommend swinging bats of different lengths to decide what option best suits your swing. The right combination of length and weight will help you reach your peak performance. Read More ...
Bat weight is measured in ounces (oz.). A bat’s weight is often tied to its “weight drop” -- its length in inches versus its weight in ounces. For instance, a 32-inch, 22-ounce bat would be referred to as a -10 bat. Read More ...
*This is for example purposes only. The best way to find the right size bat for you is to demo the bat, preferably against live pitch speeds.
**Manufacturing tolerances, performance considerations and grip weight may cause variations from the listed weight.
Governing bodies (for example, the USSSA and USA Baseball) set unique standards for bat performance. Bat manufacturers make bats to meet these standards. Each standard, however, is different. So, bats meeting one standard may not meet another. Bats are marked with logos identifying the standard which they meet.
Leagues adopt the standard they deem appropriate for play under their particular rules. League adoptions vary region by region, so we highly recommend consulting your coach and/or league official to understand the standard adopted by your league prior to purchasing a new bat.
The following information will help you understand in the standard adopted by your league.
Select your governing body or league*:
*Regulations for each league are subject to change. In order to have the most up-to-date information, please contact your coach or league official.
There are multiple ways to recognize a BBCOR bat. The easiest way is to look for the BBCOR certification stamp where the handle meets the barrel. Another way to identify a BBCOR Louisville Slugger bat are the knob and the packaging sticker, both of which are blue.
Wood bats are also legal for BBCOR play and do not need the BBCOR mark. Wood composite bats on the other hand do need the BBCOR mark to be legal for play.
Not all -3 BBCOR bats feel the same. Often, a line of BBCOR bats is made with varying swing weights, from light-swinging to balanced to end-loaded. The swing weight is influenced by how the bat’s weight is distributed. End-loaded bats have more weight toward the end cap, more and have a relatively higher swing weight for that reason. More balanced bats have their weight distributed more evenly and have a relatively lower swing weight for that reason. For more information on end-loaded and balanced bats, please see the Bat Tech section.
USSSA (United States Sports Specialty Association) is one of the largest baseball associations in the United States. USSSA separates their regulations by age group, with a range of permitted weight drops and barrel diameters. In order to find the most accurate information about what can be used in your USSSA league, we recommend contacting your coach and/or league official, or checking the USSSA website.
Ways to recognize bats certified for USSSA play include the USSSA logo on the taper of the bat, and the red knob and packaging sticker.
Weight drops vary in Senior League baseball, but players 10 years old and under often use -10 weight drop bat. Players 11-12 years old will often use a -8 weight drop, and 13 year old players often use a -5 weight drop.**
**These are recommendations. Check with your coach/league official to find out what your league rules allow.
Effective January 1st, 2018, USA Baseball will adopt a new bat standard for youth baseball bats. All players participating in leagues that have adopted the USA Baseball bat standard will be required to use a USA Baseball-certified bat (a “USABat(s)” Standard). On January 1, only bats that have the USA Baseball mark will be legal for play in these leagues.
Louisville Slugger bats that pass the USA Bat certification will have these marks:
The following national member organizations will be adopting the USA Baseball bat standard beginning January 1, 2018:
USABats can have barrels up to 2 5⁄8” diameter and do not have weight drop restrictions.
USABats are marked with a new USA baseball logo located just above the grip on a bat.
It replaces the standards previously adopted by the member organizations: American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball & Dixie Boys Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball.
Bats with the new USA Baseball approval stamp were made available for purchase on September 1, 2017. Players participating in leagues adopting the new USA Baseball bat standard must use approved bats beginning on January 1, 2018. Check with your league to see if they are adopting the new USA Baseball bat standard.
USABats will have the USA Baseball mark shown below on the area between the bat’s barrel and grip. We always recommend that you check with our local league to see if your bat is approved.
To help you find these bats in store - all Louisville Slugger bats will have a green knob medallion and a green sticker identifying it as USA Baseball approved.
We recommend you work directly with the retailer where the bat was purchased. For bats purchased on www.slugger.com please see our warranty policy.
USA Baseball bat standards has no restrictions in weight drop. In addition, bats with a 2 1⁄4” and 2 5⁄8” barrel diameter are approved under the USA Baseball bat standard.
USA Baseball approved bats can be composite, alloy, wood or a combination of these materials.
Yes; provided the wood bat bears a USA Baseball mark. Please check with your coach/league official to find out what wood bats are approved in your league.
TThe following leagues will have adopted the USA Baseball bat standard; American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball & Dixie Boys Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball. *Note: Any league can adopt the USA Baseball bat standard. So, we recommend checking with your local league before purchasing a bat.
The new USA Baseball bat standard also covers tee ball bats. As of January 1, 2018, a tee ball bat will only be permitted for play in leagues that have adopted the USABat Standard, if the bat (1) bears the USA Baseball mark and (2) is used only with USA Baseball-approved tee balls.
Tee ball bats are not required to undergo lab testing to be approved under the USA Baseball bat standard – but they must bear the new USA Baseball mark on the bat.
No – The USA Baseball bat standard only applies to youth baseball that plays under USA baseball rules.
Louisville Slugger has multiple bats available in a variety of swing weights, lengths, and materials. You can check them out here: USA Bat page on slugger.com

A bat is more than just a hunk of metal or wood. It is a carefully-engineered tool that allows players to get the most out of every swing. Every component of the bat, from the knob to the end cap, is designed to maximize every ounce of performance. There are four main tech components you need to know for your bat: material, barrel diameter, construction and weight balance.
One of the biggest influences on bat performance is its material. Bats are made of metal, composites, or wood. Metal and composite bats, are typically made of composite or alloy material, are traditionally used for youth baseball through college baseball. Wood, meanwhile, is used throughout the professional levels, as well as for specific amateur and travel ball leagues/organizations. Please read below to learn more about bat materials and how they affect performance.
Non-wood bats are built from either alloy, composite, or a combination of the two.
Composite bats are made with a layered material (often carbon fiber) that is easy to distribute, giving us the ability to make bats with a variety of swing weights, from balanced to end-loaded.
Minimize the sting from a mis-hit ball by reducing vibration to the hands
Often have a larger sweet spot than alloy bats
Alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, and has been commonly used in baseball bats for years.
Stiffer feel through the swing zone
One-piece bats are one complete piece of composite or alloy and are often used by power hitters, since they provide less flex on contact.
Multi-piece bats are comprised of two separate parts: the barrel and the handle. The handle is connected to the barrel through a transition piece in the taper area of the bat. Multi-piece construction helps minimize vibration on mis-hit balls. Those bats are preferred by contact hitters, since the two-part construction helps generate maximum swing speed without the fear of major sting on contact.
A factor you may not see, but will definitely feel is the swing weight* of your bat. Bats are often segmented by their given length and weight. The Swing weight is a determination of how a bat’s particular weight is distributed along the bat’s length. For example, you can have two bats that are 30 ounces, but that have different swing weights because the 30 ounces are distributed differently in the bat. Bats can fall along the swing weight spectrum, from light to balanced to end-loaded.
End-loaded bats shift extra weight toward the end of the barrel, creating more whip-like action on a player’s swing and generating more power.
Balanced bats have a more even weight distribution, allowing for potentially greater swing speed for many hitters. This is preferred by contact hitters who want more control of their swing.
*Note - there are a variety of swing weights offered to meet player needs.
The barrel is the thickest and widest part of the bat used to hit the ball. The barrel is where you want to hit the ball in order to achieve maximum performance.
Barrels come in different sizes, and are measured by diameter. Barrel diameter is measured in inches and, like weight drop, certain leagues limit the size of a bat’s barrel. Please refer to the Leagues to check your league’s requirements. Generally, these are the most common barrel diameters:
Still widely popular among big leaguers, Ash provides the ultimate in flexibility due to its unique grain structure. More forgiving than Maple, Ash rarely sees multi-piece fractures when the bat breaks. Visible grain lines allow for noticeable quality, giving you the confidence you need when you step up to the plate.
The species preferred by most pro players, Maple features the ultimate surface hardness and provides an unmatched sound and feel at contact. Naturally harder, Maple offers added strength at impact. Closed grains eliminate flaking commonly seen with Ash, allowing for superior durability.
The fastest growing species in professional baseball, Birch features the ideal combination of surface hardness and flexibility for increased durability. Its hardness (similar to Maple) provides great sound and feel at contact. Flexibility similar to Ash allows for forgiveness on non-barrel contact, decreasing the chance of multi-piece fractured breakage. Birch is less dense than maple, giving it a lighter feel on comparable turning models.
*Wood bats are more likely to break or crack on mishits than Alloy and Composite bats.
These are the types of finishes on a bat. A finish is the combination of the color and “look” of the bat. On top of the finish a hard coat is applied to make the bat’s surface even harder. On the top of the line MLB Prime wood bats, Louisville Slugger uses Exo Armour Premium Hardcoat which makes the bat twice as hard.

Louisville Slugger’s exclusive new Seamless Decals give MLB Prime bats a pristine look. All MLB Prime models feature branding that blends into the bat almost as intricately as the grain of the wood itself – without added stress from pressure and heat. This leads to a bat made of wood in its purest, hardest form with decals applied directly under the top coat. Thanks to innovative technology, MLB Prime bats continue to shine after countless trips to the plate.
Not all knobs are the same. Some bats have a more rounded knob while others feature a more gradual flare. The choice between the two simply comes down to personal preference.
An ink dot on a bat certifies that the wood is MLB grade. Often MLB-quality wood bats are bone-rubbed, which is the process of making a bat denser by compressing the wood.
Cupping a bat is the process in which the end of the barrel is hollowed out to remove weight while maintaining length. This process creates a slightly more balanced feel to your swing and is especially effective on larger-barrel bats for increased swing speed.
The turning model refers to the specific shape of the bat. Different turning models have different specifications. Here are the areas where turning models differ:

Baseball Terms: 150+ Common Baseball Words, Slang & Jargon
Have you ever been watching a baseball game and overheard some words or phrases that you didn’t understand? Well, we’ve put together this extensive list of some commonly used baseball terms and jargon you may come across when watching a baseball game or talking with a player, coach or baseball fan! After reading this, you’ll be able to talk baseball with the best of them!
There are a huge number of terms and phrases used in baseball to describe different aspects of the game. To help make this article a little easier to navigate, we have divided these terms into six different sections including Batting, Pitching, Fielding, Base Running, Field and overall Game terms.
To start things off we will look at some commonly used terms when it comes to batting. These can be used when talking about certain statistics, situations or actions a hitter may experience while batting in a baseball game.
Ahead in the count: A term that signifies whether the batter or pitcher possesses the advantage in an at-bat.
Barrel it up: Refers to the action of hitting a pitch hard with the sweet spot of the baseball bat.
Base hit: A fair ball hit such that the batter can advance safely to a base without the aid of an error committed by the team in the field.
Base knock: Another term for hitting a single.
Bat around: When each of the nine players in the lineup makes a plate appearance during a single inning.
Bat flip: An action typically done by a batter to show off after hitting a home run. The batter will throw, or flip, their bat up in the air in celebration. Sometimes used to taunt the opposing pitcher/team.
Behind in the count: For the batter: when the count contains more strikes than balls. For the pitcher: vice versa.
Big fly: Another name for a home run.
Bleeder: A weakly hit ground ball that goes for a base hit.
Blistered: A ball that is hit extremely hard. “That ball was blistered!”
Blooper: A weakly hit fly ball that drops in for a hit; typically, between an infielder and outfielder. Also called a “bloop single.”
Bunt: When a batter holds the baseball bat out and tries to lightly tap the ball instead of taking a full swing at the ball. The batter might do this to advance another base runner.
Caught looking: A term used when the third strike is called on a batter without the batter trying to swing at the ball.
Checked swing: A batter checks a swing by stopping it before the bat crosses the front of home plate.
Choke up: A batter “chokes up” by sliding his hands up from the knob end of the bat to give him more control over his bat. Typically done when the batter has two strikes against them.
Cleanup batter: The fourth batter in the batting order. Usually a power hitter.
Clear the bases: When a batter drives home/scores all runners on base.
Corked bat: A bat in which cork (or possibly rubber or some other elastic material) has been inserted into the core of the wooden barrel. This is illegal to use in a baseball game.
Count: The number of balls and strikes on a batter.
Dead-red: When a batter is waiting on or expecting a fastball to be thrown. “The batter is sitting dead-red here.”
Dinger: Another name for a home run.
Don’t rub it: When a batter is hit by a pitch, a common phrase to yell at them is “don’t rub it!” referring to the place on their body where they were hit with the ball.
Double: When a batter hits the ball safely in fair play and gets to second base.
Drop a bunt down: When a batter stays in his batting stance until the last possible second before the ball gets to the plate, then quickly bunts the ball in the attempt to bunt for a base hit.
Find a gap: Also known as a “gap shot”, to get a base hit by hitting the ball in the gap between outfielders.
Find a hole: To get a base hit by hitting the ball between infielders.
Fishing: When a batter swings at a pitch that is out of the strike zone they are said to have gone “fishing” for it.
Fly ball: A baseball that is hit high into the air. Also called a “pop fly.”
Foul ball: A baseball that is hit outside the field of fair play.
Frozen rope: A hard-hit line drive.
Full count: A count of 3 balls and 2 strikes; another strike will result in a strikeout, while another ball will result in a walk.
Fungo bat: A lightweight bat with a long, skinny barrel used by coaches to hit ground balls or fly balls during practice.
Golden sombrero: When a player strikes out four times in one game.
Golfing: Swinging at an obviously low pitch, particularly one in the dirt.
Ground ball: A baseball that is hit on the ground. Also called a “grounder.”
Hack: To take a big swing at the ball. Sometimes called a “Daddy Hack.”
Hard 90: Running hard to first base out of the batter’s box. The distance between each base is 90 feet.
Hat trick: When a player strikes out three times in one game.
Hit and run: A baseball play where the base runner begins to run when the pitch is released. It is the batter’s responsibility to hit the baseball into play or swing at the pitch to obstruct the catcher’s vision, so the runner will not get thrown out. This gives the base runner a head start.
Home run: Most commonly used when a player hits the ball over the fence in fair play; a home run is scored when the ball is hit in such a way that the batter is able to circle the bases and reach home safely in one play without any errors being committed by the defensive team in the process. A ball hit in the air fairly that hits any part of the foul pole is also a home run.
In the hole: The batter who follo
