Okay to use a youth baseball bat in batting cage?

Posted by admin on Feb 25th

Plan on hitting the batting cages. Going to try both the medium speed and fast speed pitches. I have a youth 32/18.5 bat. Is the bat going to be okay for those type of speeds? Or should I stick with an adult -3 bat?

Use a bat that is similar in length and weight as the bat you will use in a game. A couple of oz. more is ok, but try not to use a lighter bat.

I NEVER use my game bat in a cage. I don't think anyone should use a game bat in a cage that does not throw leather baseballs.

the adult -3 bat would hold up better

you should use the type of bat you will be hitting with in a game. if you play with a -3 hit with a -3, but if you hit with a -13.5 then use the -13.5

I say adult the youth bat will get beat up espicially on the fast cages. But if you dont care if you beat it up then it would be fine, but i would use an adult
