- In this bat buying guide video Steve from Rawlings at the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores in Central Florida and I share some information on how to pick the right size bat. These baseball bat sizing tips will help you make the best decision the next time you're on the market for a baseball bat. In 2018 there are many new rules in regards to the usssa bat vs usa bat and bbcor. So, if you're wondering what size bat you should buy or have any other questions about youth baseball bats, then this video can be a big help to you. It is a longer video, but we wanted to make sure to cover all the info on how to choose the right bat for you!

YouGoPro Rawlings new 2018 5150 bat😍😍
Yessss! Love it!
You got it?!?!
Wish we had stores like this in the uk!!!!!
My favourite piece of Rawlings equipment is my Rawlings first base glove, which Ive had for four years and is still in great condition.
But we don’t play as many games as the pro’s do!!!
Hey John I liked that Rawlings Quattro bat... I just loved it's appearance and composition. Further I would also loved to nominate my Name for the Rawlings pro preferred glove give aways😊😊😋..Thanks for the opportunity...!
Been using Rawlings my whole life now passing the tradition on down to my son playing u8. He’s rocking a 11” Gold Glove and could really use a nice glove for when he gets older! Love the balanced velos and the grips are amazing!
Thank you John and Steve for this video... very useful. My son has used the Rawlings Velo since his sophomore year... he started out with the 2014 and also owned the 2015 Easton Mako in his freshman and sophomore years. He also owns the Rawlings Quatro... Quatro has awesome pop, but his preference is the Rawlings Velo. He feels great control with the stiff one piece alloy bat, very very well balanced, and power with speed when swinging the bat. He has tried all the brands out there but the Velo has been his favorite. The BBCOR Velo is an awesome transition bat from the youth and senior league bats when your child is going into high school. I have to emphasize the balance. Believe me, the balance is insane!!! And the sound that comes off the bat when you hit the ball right on makes people turn heads!
Always great products from Rawlings! Right now my son uses a catchers mitt and we just bought a brand new 5150 -5 32" bat.
Thanks Rawlings and hi from the Netherlands!
I love all of the Rawlings gear I’ve ever had. I love the velo to the batting gloves to my current glove that I’ve had for about 3 years and it is time for a new one.
Thanks for all the work you do to make these videos John! They've been a huge help to me as a coach. Continue to teach the way you do, always giving the whys behind the whats.
Thanks Brad it means a lot 🙏
Nice video, my favorite piece of Rawlings equipment would definitely be the heart of the hide because of its great quality, and overall ability to help players become better.
Awesome video! As a youth coach, I get parents asking me all of the time about what bat they should get. I can now share this video with them. Thank you!
Awesome you’re welcome
I've had several Rawlings gloves and have purchased gloves and game bags for my 5 boys over the years and have never been disappointed. Rawlings excellence.
Very true never a disappointment
good information! had questions on BBCOR bat sizing for my son who will be a freshman next fall. I got my answer, Thanks!
I've got a up and coming freshman. You answered all my questions. Thank you! Great vid!
Incredible information, completely answered the question with respect to the USA Stamp to travel ball scenario.
Grrreat! Thanks!
Choosing the right bat is never an easy chore. Great video. A lot of helpful information. My son plays in Pony Ball. When he's playing outfield, he really likes his Rawlings Elite Glove.
Thank you
My favorite part of Rawlings is the quality of their leather and craftsmanship of their gloves.
Thank you for these series of how to pick/buying guides. This is my son's second year in little league (he will be 9 soon). They are truly helpful to a parent that does not have experience with buying baseball equipment. Again Thank you. Any video's you do for little league players would be super helpful!
You’re welcome!
My favourite piece of Rawlings gear is the Rawlings Velo. Thank´s for sharing pro tips! It really helps my play here in Germany!
Thanks and you’re welcome
This is very informative. The Rawlings guy knows his stuff. Nice work! My son loves his Rawlings 5150 bat!
Thanks, Steve is the man!
I don't need no pop...I just want to hit Choppers like Ichiro and dive for bases.
Great video. Lots of good information for all players and parents. Can you make a video on the gloves they sell next? I’m sure they have a lot of them and knowing how to purchase the right glove is key. Thanks again for the video look forward to your next class.
I’m uploading it tomorrow 😉
Quattro seems to be the bat I'll want to experiment with next. Great video! Thank for all your videos btw
Thanks for a great, current video about bat selection. I appreciate talking about price points for youth players. Parents spend too much money for their seven year old's bat. It's crazy.
Crazzzzy for sure
Being a coach for my two boys now, my favorite Rawlings equipment is the Big Stick fungo bat and the Rawlings ball bucket with padded lid.
Outstanding great pieces
As always another GREAT vid !!! Sons favorite Rawlings gear his glove heart of the hide as for me the baseballs
Great info. I'm managing/coaching a minor little league team and will suggest this video to parents that have bat questions. We're about 2 hours away so I think we'll make a trip to the store too. Can't have too much baseball equipment.
Awesome! You’ll love the store it’s 😍
Such an informative video!! Glad I watched this before I bought my son’s bat.
Thank you for the feed back Erica!
My favorite Rawlings line is the sandlot series (love the old school look to it). My boy loves his Select Pro Lite.
Lots of good information about the bat buying process. Be aware that the weight of these new USA bats are understated. A 29" drop 10 isn't 19 oz. It's usually heavier by 2 plus oz. That doesn't seem like much but when your are dealing with young players, it is significant, in my opinion. Bat speed and swing mechanics can be affected. Plus it seems dishonest to me.
The is a great video to help explain to young hitters why they should swing a 30" instead of a 32". My favorite glove I used was my heart of the hide, but always wished I got a pro preferred. Also used to swing an old-school Rawlings liquid metal. Hard to pick just one product from Rawlings.
Interesting fact I found out while shooting this vid, in MLB Rawlings is about 50/50 HOH to PP.
My favorite Rawlings equipment is the eye black and the dynamic fit system batting gloves
Hands down my favorite Rawlings equipment has to be the gloves. The amount of craftsmanship and the quality is just outstanding! I couldn't trust it any more...
They are amazing!
I swear you must read my mind!! We was looking at bats and new gloves lastnight!! I have always used Rawlings my gloves and love them!! Me and my son's favorite piece of eauipment is the Rawlings 1st base gloves. Tried other brands of gloves and we always end up with a Rawlings!! Excellan fit, finish, as well as durability!!
I’ve always rocked the rawlings gloves as well
My son always wanted a few different gloves up through the age groups but he turned 12 and tried my fielders glove and my firstbase mitt and he kept asking if he could use mine so finally gave them to him. We looked at Gold Glove Elite 13" 1st base mitt. Yeah it'll be money well spent.
Nice intro to bats. This was helpful in our bat selection process for our 11 year old player. Thank you
You’re welcome!
My favorite piece is the Rawlings Velo because it is super light and still assists me to hit homeruns.
Boom! First entry!
I loved the Rawlings Quattro bat... N yeah thanks for the opportunity of a winning a pro preferred glove..!😊😊
I can’t wait to swing it! Vid coming soon!
I've always been a big fan of the heart of the hide gloves. Quality leather and a good price. I had one glove for almost 8 years!! Used it throughout most of my college and into a couple seasons of pro ball.
I love them
Great video, love the Rawlings baseballs
Great video! My favorite Rawlings product is my old school Rawlings pro 1000 glove. My son also has a Rawlings Primo glove that is top notch.
I love the primo. Kind of sad they discontinued it
Love this vid. Very usefull info. My son plays high school baseball. We love our rawlings gloves. Can't wait for baseball to start livingbin Idaho not great it snowed today. 😢
Again good info to help me know what to look for when choosing the right bat for my seven year old, think because his size right now he would be more a get on base type of hitter, not so much in the power hitter range. So guess I'll be looking for faster whip, and better balance.
I’m from Brazil and always when my husband and I go to Orlando we pass by this Rawlings store.. the guys are nice , I remember we left. My husband glove there to fix it .. If you like baseball you must go there ...
Yes it’s an amazing store!
Awesome advice. My son would use the Rawlings Quatro as a Freshman in HS.
Awesome thanks
I play for team Rawlings baseball 13u and my favorite part of Rawlings is the baseballs, Gloves and the great environment we all are surrounded by
⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
I had a rawlings player preferred as a kid and it was my favorite glove for a long time
My favorite is the Quatro, amazing Rawlings bat!
I can’t wait to try it!

Yes thanks
Great video and very informative!!
Another great video. Thank you for the information very helpful.
Thanks and you’re welcome
Man my favorite product has to be the 2018 rawlings velo bbcor. I bought this bat and to it straight to the cage and I can't explain how good it felt to swing! It was easy to control, and my bat speed was increased tremendously. I've used a wood bat ever since I was jh. This is a nice change. I highly recommend this bat
That’s awesome. I’m looking forward to trying the Quattro myself
YouGoPro I'm lead off so I'm really happy with the placement ability of the velo
My favorite piece of Rawlings equipment is the Rawlings chest protector because it is very lightweight and it is very protective when blocking
That’s awesome thanks Cam
My favorite piece of Rawlings gear is my Velo baseball bat! Hard choice though, as I love my Rawlings leather! However, cannot beat the performance of my Rawlings Velo, I love it !
I’ve heard great things about the Velo!
Great video. Us parents sometimes need coaching as well.
I’ve subbed, I’ve learned a ton from you. I’m currently rocking a Rawlings Gamer Elite and it is a great glove, I love Rawlings! I had a really light $8 Rawlings recon and it helped me make my league all star game😂
Also, is there any way that I could get a left handed glove on the very slim chance that I win
Yes I believe so shouldn’t be a problem
To this day I still have a gold glove series catchers mitt that I used through high school. It is beat up but it might just be my favorite glove because of the memories attached to it.
Great bat tips. I’ll be looking to get my son a new bat this season. As for the Rawlings glove, my son currently has a Rawlings glove and loves it. His next glove will mostly likely be another Rawlings.
I love the rawlings gloves too. I have always worn them through my career.
My fav is the rawlings pro preferred francisco lindor, its awesome! Good vid bro
Perfect! You’re entered!
I've got a Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.25" infielders glove which is AMAZING. I'm a big guy (6'4") but there's nothing like knowing exactly where the ball is in a glove.
I like the gloves. No one inpaticular but any rawlings glove I have ever had has been awesome
Yes me too
Our boys love their Rawlings gloves!

Great gloves
I love the vlow wood bat it's great and I just got one last year and it's perfect for the first wood bat
Awesome
I would have to say Rawlings gloves are my favorite piece. I currently have a gg elite and I’ve always used Rawlings. I’m looking into getting a heart of the hide or even a pro preferred. But who knows maybe I’ll win the pro preferred that you’re giving away.
My favorite Rawlings gear is the BH34 heart of the hide outfielders glove, I love the quality of the mit it didn't take me long to break it in to. My specific liking so Rawlings gets an A+ on that mit
Yassss
I have that glove and I also have a HOH infield glove as well, I'm thinking about getting the Harper Wood bat now to
Rawlings trio!! its great

My favorite peice of rawlings equipment is the chest protector for catchers
