Read across from the player's weight and down to their height. Blank cells (—) mean the chart lists no length for that combination. This is Easton's chart as published by Scheels. Scheels' own bat guide shows the same lengths with slightly different height bands for the shortest players.

Baseball bat length by age
Age is a rough guide only; height and weight are better. The two charts agree for most ages and differ at the youngest and oldest.
| Age | Easton | Scheels guide |
|---|---|---|
| 5–7 / 7 and under | 24"–26" | 24"–26" |
| 8–10 | 8–9: 26"–28"; 10: 28"–29" | 26"–29" |
| 11–12 | 30"–31" | 30"–31" |
| 13–14 | 31"–32" | 31"–32" |
| 15–17 | 15–16: 32"–33"; 17+: 34" | 32"–33" |
| 18+ | 34" (17+) | 33"–34" |
Bat drop and certification
- Drop is bat length minus bat weight. A 28 inch, 18 ounce bat is a drop -10. League rules influence the drop you need.
- BBCOR bats are typically used by high school and collegiate players, USSSA by travel ball players, and USA by younger players who may be playing for the first time. Ages four to six: look for a tee ball bat.
- Scheels gives no specific bat weight or barrel diameter figures, so this page does not either. Check your league's rules.
Questions
What size baseball bat do I need?
Match your height and weight to the chart: for example a 12-year-old who is 5 feet tall and 100 pounds falls in the 57 to 60 inch column at 91 to 100 pounds, which gives a 31 inch bat on the Easton chart. Age tables give a quick guide: ages 11 to 12 are usually 30 to 31 inches.
What is bat drop?
Drop is the bat length minus the bat weight. A 28 inch bat that weighs 18 ounces has a drop of -10 (Scheels). League rules influence which drop you need, so check with your coach or league official.
What is the difference between BBCOR, USSSA and USA bats?
Scheels says BBCOR bats are typically used by high school and collegiate players, USSSA bats by travel ball players, and USA bats by younger players who may be playing for the first time. For players aged four to six it suggests looking for a tee ball bat. Always check your league's rules.
Is the bat size chart exact?
No. Scheels calls its chart a guideline and a good starting point. Blank cells mean the manufacturer lists no length for that combination of height and weight. Swing a bat of the right length before you buy, if you can.
