Rawlings Youth Baseball Bats

rawlings youth baseball bats

When selecting youth baseball bats it is important to consider the bat’s length, weight, barrel width, and league requirements. While wood bats are available, most people select aluminum or cutting-edge alloy bats for youth baseball. A general rule is to select the lightest bat for its length in order to maximize swing power. Lighter bats are more expensive, while heavier bats are usually thicker and made from a cheaper-grade aluminum. Longer youth baseball bats arm the player with more plate coverage, but they also weigh more. Shorter bats are faster but may force the batter to crowd the plate in order to reach the outside edge of the strike zone.

Also consider the size of the barrel. A larger barrel wields more power and has a bigger sweet spot, yet the larger barrel requires more mass, and so it is heavier. Often selecting a bat is an imperfect science because you can’t really hit a ball in a store, or even really swing the bat for that matter. You might even try going out to a local baseball practice or batting cage. Then you can try many different bats, actually making contact with the ball, and get a much more accurate picture of what bat works for your son or daughter.

Little League baseball bats should not be more than 33 inches long or more than 2 1/4 inches in diameter at the barrel. Little League baseball bats should be taped around the handle and up 10 inches. Bats are measured in inches for length and ounces for weight. Minus numbers are used to show a bat’s measurements. For example, if a bat is 33 inches long and has a (-10) rating, that means the bat weighs 23 ounces. So the higher the negative number than the lighter the bat is for its length.

Rawlings Baseball Bats

rawlings baseball bats
Rawlings is one of the oldest names in the baseball equipment industry. Unfortunately, they're the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball bats. They get no respect. You rarely see a Rawlings bat on a little league, high school and most definitely a college field. In a nutshell, it's not cool to have a Rawlings bat.

Rawlings and Louisville have very similar baseball bat philosophies. The stiff handle one piece bat is the center of their universe. Here's what Rawlings is offering in 2009:

  • Rush Composite Lite - One piece, 100% composite bat featuring a stiff handle. Rawlings has entered the composite bat category and, as they should be, is priced below the top composite bats of its competitors. But it's not priced low enough so I'd go with the Omaha Composite if you must have a 100% composite bat and don't want to pay top dollar. Plus, Rawlings doesn't even provide any hype for the material of this bat. No "pitch black" composite, "double weave", etc. This is unheard of in the industry. We must have spin!
  • Rush Gold Lite - Two piece, composite handle, alloy barrel bat that features a stiff handle and "liquid metal" allow. I can't recommend this one either as there are better options.
  • Plasma - One piece, 100% alloy bat with a stiff handle and Rawlings "liquid metal" alloy. Okay for the younger player, but otherwise I'd pass on this one as well.

Now, I have seen players hit the ball a long way with a Rawlings bat. But as mentioned, I'd only purchase a Rawlings bat for a young player or if you're on a budget.
