Question
I would like to know the best bat for five year old coach pitch. Should we use a t-ball bat? Right now he has a 25 inch 13 oz T-ball bat, but seems to dent easy.
Hey Jesi,
Start with the lightest bat you can find and then as the season progresses, increase the size.. Do not constantly change his bat each time he swings. This will only cause him to be inconsistant. He will tell you what seems confortable to him, just don't let him start off with something too heavy..
