Simply, the DROP is the difference between length and weight.
The higher the drop, the lighter the bat.
The smaller the drop, the heavier the bat.
For each bat, there will be a number e.g. -10oz, -11oz, -12oz etc.Those numbers are the DROP that represent the weight difference between the length and the actual weight of the bat.
For example, If you are looking for a 30-inch, 20-ounce youth baseball bat, we know that the difference between the length and the weight is 10oz. Therefore the bat will commonly be known as a Drop -10oz (30-20 = 10oz). This will help determine the player's comfort zone by length and weight.
Please click on the -10oz under the Shop by Drop under youth baseball bats.
On the middle of the page, left side of the screen you will see "By Length/Weight."
Under that you will see the sizes available, click on the word "more" to see all the sizes. The # in the parenthesis, e.g. [12] means there are 12 choices in that length and weight.
Please note you can sort by barrel diameter (2-1/2", 2-1/4", 2-5/8", or 2-3/4") or material. Sorting by price is another great way to narrow your choices down if you have a certain price in mind.Let the shop-by-drop do all the homework for you!

Only site that had the bat my kiddo wanted (Victus crayon 31" red) We got our order delivered just a few days after placing it just in time for a big game where half the kids on the team got to use it. Won the game and the power of the crayon prevailed. Thanks!

Went to visit the store with my 7th grade daughter to tryout new catchers gear. Everyone there was very helpful and knowledgeable. There was a great selection to try. I also recently ordered a new glove from the website with the break in service. Delivery was fast and the break in was perfect.
At Closeout Bats we stock what we sell! We have a huge warehouse and are NOT drop shipping bats like many web sites. We update inventory and availability on the Web site several times a day as inventory positions change shipping hundreds and hundeds of bats. We also sell bats out of our physical store, so sometimes things sell out before we can get them off the Web site.
Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!
