Most of the baseball players choose to play with a wood baseball bat that must have the right measurements: a diameter of 2.75 inches and a length of 42 inches. Also the weight of the bat is very important. The standard baseball bat for sale has 33 ounces but the weight depends on the player, if he likes it heavier of lighter. A good wood baseball bat is usually made of one piece of solid wood. You have to check and see if the wood of the bat has marks that show that the piece was hollowed or filled with cork.
