Technology is constantly improving, along with rules on which bats you are allowed to use. In this article we are going to feature bats that are approved for play in Little League baseball.

If you are in the market for a new baseball bat, I have used and reviewed a lot of different brands and models. Here are some of the most popular ones, and my personal favorites.

O.K. What is the best baseball bat?

Below you will find our top 5 recommended bats. We have used them all and we feel confident you will love them too!

Louisville Slugger Select 719 Baseball Bat 

This Louisville Slugger bat is a 3-piece hybrid construction bat. It has a -10 drop which gives you a much quicker swing, without giving up length. The drop is the difference between weight and length. Example: A 26 inch bat with a 14 ounce weight would have a -12 drop. This is a great beginner bat that will provide plenty of pop.

Specs:

• (-10) Drop
• 2-5/8 inch barrel
• Durable, 3-piece hybrid ST 7U1+ alloy construction with composite handle
• Approved for Little League play

This DeMarini Voodoo is a two piece hybrid, X14 alloy barrel and 3Fusion composite handle bat. The Voodoo gives players better control and feel while swinging and offers a balanced swing weight. The Voodoo is a good bat for experienced, junior-high level players but the bat has received good reviews for younger experienced players as well.

Easton Mako Beast Tee Ball Bat

With the -13.5 drop, this Easton t-ball bat is perfect for the beginner. The -13.5 drop will give your beginner a much quicker swing through the zone. Remember, when they’re first starting out they will probably not be hitting home runs. Try to stick with the longer, lighter bats.

So… What is the best baseball bat?

All these bats have performed very well. They have proven very durable, and all have provided good swing speed and power.

If I had to pick only one, it would be the Easton Beast X Hyperlite. To me, this bat definitely gives you the most bang for the buck. Plus I just love the sound of a good solid hit coming off the aluminum barrel.

Manufacturers update models constantly, so I linked each bat to a display page. If a new model is available, it will let you know.
