Youth Big Barrel Bats, also known as Senior Youth Bats, are baseball bats with a "big barrel", meaning the bat has either a 2 5/8 inch or 2 3/4 inch diameter barrel. Depending on the rules of your baseball organization, Big Barrel Bats are typically used between the ages of 6 years old to 13 years old. By far, the most popular length to weight ratio is Minus 10 Ounces, but Minus 9 and Minus 5 bats are popular as well, depending on the strength, size, and skill level of the batter.
