The following is suggested for players, but not required:
Note that you will need a bat that is legal for Little League Baseball. Little League International rules state that a bat shall not be more than thirty-three (33) inches in length nor more than two and one-quarter (2ΒΌ) inches in diameter. Non-wood bats shall be labeled with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less;
EXCEPTION: For the Little League (Majors) and below, for regular season play and Tournament, composite bats are prohibited unless approved by Little League International. View the List of approved and licensed composite bats.
It is also important to get a bat that is the correct size. To short of a bat will make it difficult to hit due to a small swing radius. Too heavy of a bat will make it difficult to hit due to a slow swing speed. A good rule of thumb is that a player should be able to hold the bat straight out with one hand without it drooping. If it droops, it's too heavy. Also note that bats of the same length will have different weights. See the bat size chart on this page for guidance on bat length.
