Yep. Marucci is better for one piece, but I’ve always liked Demarini two pieces

The two posts above are right. Be aware a lot of 14U leagues require BBCOR.

I actually have a good drop 3.

I go drop 10 for 11U, -8 for 12U, -5 for 13U, and -3 for 14U.

Check your league rules. 14u requires BBCOR most of the time, rather than USSSA

which is a good reason to buy used. I like to usually buy used anyway

Depends on if he’s more of a power or contact guy. Love the CF if he’s a power

Marucci CAT8 -5 was a good transition bat for my son

My 12 year old (he’s 5’8” and 190 lbs) uses a Louisville Slugger Meta -5

Sideline Swap is where I buy used bats. Generally you can get a warranty bat in the wrapper, as parents don't want to
