My 10 year old uses a 30/18 bat and is 5'2", and I was thinking he may soon need a longer bat. Most of the 10 year olds in his league use that size. I would have thought a 30 inch bat would be small for someone who is 5'9". Do most boys that size use a 30 inch?

Hi,

His league allows a -5 drop, and he has been using a 30/25, but he has gotten taller (about 5' 9" now) and I am wondering if he should move to a longer bat, say 32", even though it will add a couple of ounces of weight. Any suggestions or thoughts?
