Does Baseball Bat Size Really Matter?  32 vs 33 vs 34 - BBCOR Baseball Bat Test with the Marucci Cat8

Does Baseball Bat Size Really Matter? 32 vs 33 vs 34 - BBCOR Baseball Bat Test with the Marucci Cat8

The age old questions of so many parents; does the size of a Baseball Bat truly matter? The Baseball Bat Bros give us a comparison in different size Baseball Bats.  In this demonstration, the Baseball Bat Bros are using the BBCOR Marucci Cat 8 Models in 32 inch, 33 inch, and 34 inch. 

 

Does Newton's 2nd Law truly affect our Baseball Swing?  Newton's Second Law; force equals mass times acceleration, this being said... If a person can swing a 34/31 oz baseball bat comfortably you should see more exit speed acceleration than if you swing a 31/28.

Are we saying you should swing the heaviest bats out there?  Absolutely not, but finding the bat that you can comfortably swing with the most mass will 100% impact your exit speeds. 

The results shown in the video surely give us some things to think about, especially those children utilizing incorrect baseball bat sizing and guessing what they truly need.  

The Baseball Bat Bros Conclusion:

THE SIZE OF BAT YOU GET WILL IMPACT YOUR HITTING GAME EQUALLY AS MUCH AS THE TYPE OF BAT YOU GET.

Will's favorite: 34"
John's favorite: 33.5"
Cam's favorite: 33"
