Bat Sizing Chart
This chart is to assist coaches/players/parents in choosing a personal bat (to use or buy).
The core technical aspects of today's bats will not be discussed here. We'll leave that
research up to the individual. On this page is a sizing chart to guide you as to what size
bat a particular individual might use or buy. If you do choose to buy onemake sure it is
ISF, ASA, NSA and/or Softball Canada Approved. You cannot use a bat that isn't.
The onlynumbers that the chart does not deal with is the weight or “drop” number of a bat. Weight is critical as
the game we play is the Fastpitch variant. The drop numberingsystem is rarely(if ever) used in Slo-pitch or
lob-ball. You get the drop number when you subtract the weight from the length. For example, if you buya 22
ounce bat that is 34 inches long, then it's drop is “-12”.
One example ofusing this to your advantage is if you are using a 34 inch bat that is a“-10” and you are
swinging late all the time (or you come up against a faster pitcher), go find a bat with a higher drop number
(one that weighs less). There are too manyscenarios to cover here, butthe above should begin to help you
understand what you need to look for in a bat.
