Which ( 2 ) bats would you recommend to work in 2 Totally different Levels of Play.
Our 9U son wants to play both Travel Ball (Big Barrel) and play with his school friends in the Little League program next year (10U).
So, I'm asking is there a "Match set of Bats" out there for this or is it trial and error.
He will need a 2-1/4" for one league ( Part Time ) and a Big Barrel for the other.
Size ... 58" tall 88 lbs --- hits Powerful Line Drives ( some Line Drive HR)
usually 1st pitch or 1st Strike. He's been one of the most consistant hitters on his teams now, hits in the 2 slot with a speedster at lead off.
He has use of many bats, Loves his Easton CXN - 30-19.5, and in Batting Practice uses his older Brothers Big Barrel Stealth Alloy 29-19 2-5/8. He does really well with this bat also.
I know Easton is said to be end loaded, will it be better to go with a more balance Big Barrel ... or stay with end loaded, or reverse this thinking ? We have fall ball to sort this out, but I see some deals on bats now to help get it rolling.
Does anyone have experience with this Dual Leagues. I just want him to stay with what works and not mess up his Mechanics.
