I've started playing 1B on my men's team. I enjoy it quite a bit. I use a 28 oz. Easton bat. Tried dropping to a 26, but was way in front of everything.
This is softball right? Or your league allows pre bbcor baseball bats? I'm using a Dove Tail Bats DT71 33" -2 oz. The -2 has much more pop than the -3 oz bats. I was surprised how much denser the wood is just by going one ounce heavier.
