Rawlings Youth Ash Wood Baseball Bat | Multiple Styles

First-off, to address many other reviews, wooden baseball bats break. Always have and always will. After purchasing four separate sizes/weights of these bats, my son finally broke his first one. He is almost 13, but bigger and stronger than the average 12 year old boy. He broke a 29” model on a 50 MPH fastball from a batting cage after hitting 4-5 in a row which would have been home runs at a little league park. The only reason the bat broke (like most major league broken bats) is because this pitch rode up the handle and off the barrel. These are wonderful and very affordable bats that are perfect for any 10-14 year old brave enough to explore the use of the more complex wooden bat over the typical aluminum/alum hybrid bats routinely used in little league. If your kid breaks one, as will routinely happen with wooden bats at any level, use that as a teaching moment and get a new one. Lastly, I have now purchased and used 4 of these bats, and the first two were 29" long while the last two bats were 30" long. The first two (29") bats weighed 548g and 720g, and the second batch of two (30") weighed 625g and 656g. Therefore, I agree with the various reports of inconsistent bat weights, and this is common with non-major league baseball bats. If you want wooden baseball bats that are balanced, without defects, with consistent weight and length parameters, you will need to pay $100-$200 each for major league quality bats. Until my kid or yours hits the majors, I say let them break a few $25 bats that are well made but not perfect. It sure beats $200 a pop!

I was a little worried about the durability of the bat from other reviewers especially because my son is 13 and has a very potent and fast swing. So far he has done 10 cage sessions and 4 games with contact spots all over the barrel and the bat is in as good a shape as when we got it. I have a feeling the broken bats are from handle hits, and most wood bats stand a chance of breaking from that. The grip is very nice, my son prefers to use wax or tar even on the grip but he has done without it as well. A very nice quality bat that looks AWESOME on the field. With the weight difference from his maple and the pop of the ash my son can swing much faster with this bat and the ball leaves the bat faster than his maple.

This bat is not good don’t bay it this is the third one we bay and my 8 year old son brocket itThis is wait of time

This bat has some pretty bad bat sting on the hands when hitting which is why I gave four stars. It’s a great quality for the price. Our son used it for 14U ball.

Needed a bat my son could use with pitching machine without hurting his hands. He can still feel when he does not hit the sweet spot. Sweet spot is smaller and bat weighs more than his aluminum bat, so its making him a better hitter without having to use his game aluminum bat.

Very fast shipping , nice bat my kid loves it

Used this bat in my sons wood bad tournament and it did great. Got a nice solid hit to the outfield and his teammates liked it as well!

Broke in less than 2 weeks with very few reps. This bat is very soft wood, almost balsam wood like, so if you are a serious baseball player, move along. This will break quickly. Just not made for hitting real baseballs as odd as that sounds. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more and get what I ended up getting, a BamBooBat. You wont be disappointed.

Llego antes de lo programado, todo bien con excepción de la caja venía rota talvez fue un mal manejo de la paquetería pero el producto afortunadamente no salió dañado se ve de muy buena calidad excelente

Regalo para mi hijo. Teóricamente para su estatura le corresponde un bate algo más grande pero él lo prefiere justo de la medida escogida (28 pulgadas). La sensación al batear es muy muy buena y el bate aguanta perfectamente todos los swings. Además la textura y apariencia de la madera y del barnizado son de calidad (aunque eso siempre irá a gustos).

Trop et très très très long pour la réception de ce produit vraiment hyper déçus sinon le produit en lui même est très bien.

Se ve bien pero el que me llegó viene con fisura

My son used it once to play ball. He hit the baseball with the bat and the force of the hit split the bat in two.Not happy at all.
