Senior League Bats

How do I choose the right bat?
In most cases, bats are measured in inches and weighed in ounces. Typically, a bigger, stronger player will prefer a longer heavier bat, while a smaller player will prefer a shorter lighter bat. Since a player's power is generated through bat speed, it is important that you can swing your bat through the strike zone at maximum speed. Keep in mind that the right bat for you is based on personal preference. Make sure the bat you pick feels good when you swing it.

Aluminum Bat Care Tips
Limit the bat to your individual use only. Rotate the bat 1/4 turn each swing. Do not use in temperatures below 60° (16° C). Do not store the bat in extreme hot or cold temperatures, such as in a car trunk or garage. Do not clean metal spikes or cleats with your bat. Use with leather-covered balls only, not plastic or rubber cage balls. Do not hit waterlogged balls. If using a softball bat, do not use balls that exceed 400lbs. compression. Routinely check your plastic end cap and replace it if it cracks or becomes loose.

Two Ball Soft Toss
This drill will teach the hitter to concentrate and keep their weight back. The coach will toss two balls. The coach will then call out top or bottom after the balls are released. The hitter will hit the called ball into the fence or screen.
