It is a minus 3 bat. Anything higher (minus 4,5,6,7,8,9,10) is illegal in school ball.

Grandkids,they already have Rawlings Icons I believe, drop 5. At a JH tournament last night was told they have to use drop 3, of course no one checked and the other team didn't use drop 3s either. I thought kids couldn't hit with drop 10s/8s hate to think how bad it could be.

I know JH kids that need -5 or -8. Some kids mature way differently. When a kid uses a bat that's too heavy at a young age, only henders their growth and fundamentals as they age and get stronger. Another odd rule.

Doesn't help the players trying to swing drop 3s and the coach wants fly balls to right field, bats b dragging the ground with some of these kids swings.

JH kids have had all year to hit the weight room to be able to swing a drop 3. Unless someone convinces them that lifting is bad for them…
