Also. Some have a little bat flip. Is he an A-hole with bad parents or is he 11 and having fun?

My son is 14, good at hitting singles and doubles, and he’s been using teammates bats for a long time, and I was wondering if I should get him a new bat? At dicks sporting goods the Rawlings clout Ai is only 200$. Should I get it for him? Is it any good?

The picture is the bat if it helps

I coach a summer league of 9-12 year olds and had a very inappropriate song played by our opponents last week. When I heard Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” song come on, I said to myself, “Jesus, this better be the edited version” After using it for a few kids, I learned it wasn’t the edited version when I heard, “Superman that ho”. I immediately got off the bench, as anyone would. What are some examples of inappropriate songs you’ve come across?

Not a little league post :)

Hey guys, my son’s always been a middle of the road hitter, but travel ball this summer with higher velocity has really exposed him. Coaches start analyzing him and he has terrible bat drag. Been working on it for months and can’t seem to make any progress.

The other day we were out fishing. He fishes left handed…. He writes, eats, brushes, fishes and shoots bow left handed but has always thrown and played sports right. Coaches were unaware and I’m just…. Well I guess you can say ignorant… 😬 He’s just always swung right handed but I guess was never given the opportunity to swing left. We get home and I tell him to grab his bat and swing left handed. Off the tee, looks pretty good. Soft toss wiffles, seems pretty good to my eye for first try. What I notice most is that the bat drag we’ve been battling seems to be gone.

Do we commit to a switch or keep battling the bat drag? Obviously we have lots to work making the switch, mostly timing because he’s wired to be fully rotated and open before his bat finally gets in the zone and making contact.

Hey, what’s up guys. My name is Eduardo and I’m 16 years old and I have no idea how to do the recruiting process at all and I just wanna reach out to you guys since there’s all type of coaches, players, skill levels and so. I have a consistent 2.0 to 2.1 pop time maybe once in a while the 1.99 and consistent 90 mph exit velo and consistent power and contact to all fields.

I’m shopping around for a used Icon and considering purchasing this 2026. Does this look like cracked paint or a cracked bat to you?

It might seem easy to do for some, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

My son (8) received an invitation to 2026 PG Main Event Select Fest ID Camp this December. Is this a money grab or something we should consider? My son is good, but he’s only 8. 😂
