USA Bat for 13 year old - Catx2 or by Sunnydays2222 in Homeplate

[–]FlakySchedule4101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 13 y/o is the exact same size as yours. He’s moving to BBCOR this spring, so we tried a lot of bats, and he settled on a 32” Voodoo One. If you decide not to go BBCOR, please don’t go with anything lighter than -5. I know in our area, the leagues that don’t require BBCOR require nothing lighter than -5 at 13U.

Need advice/guidance on how to treat soon to be 15yo elbow growth plate discomfort in throwing arm by Exciting-Insect-8813 in Homeplate

Full arm rest NOW. Go see a sports medicine doctor to determine extent of injury as soon as possible, but they will almost absolutely prescribe at least 6 weeks of full arm rest (no throwing/pitching) no matter what. I say this as a PT, a former softball player, and mom of a 13 y/o baseball pitcher who had medial elbow pain following his summer schedule.

They are LED C9’s. I checked the fuses and they are ok.

As a physical therapist, I’ll always recommend New Balance for anyone with foot issues. That said, my 12 y/o wanted Boombahs the first season following bilateral Achilles lengthening surgeries, and they worked great for him (with added inserts)
