Description

Mizuno is taking the classic one-piece design to new heights with the Generation. The Generation is forged from a new and improved Aerospace Grade Alloy that increases strength and provides players with unwavering durability to get them through the longest of seasons. Each model's swing weight has been optimized with a lower MOI, so expect a light feel and extremely smooth swing through the hitting zone with this one. The performance from this bat's traditional single wall barrel is amplified with the inclusion of Mizuno's Variable Wall Thickness Technology. The barrel features six distinct wall thicknesses that optimize the performance and sweet spot but gives you a design that's extremely forgiving on off-center contact. The Generation's synthetic leather grip provides the tack needed for complete control and confidence, while the bats resonating "ping" on contact will tell you exactly when you've squared one up.

The Mizuno Generation -12 Youth Baseball Bat: YB16GEN features a -12 Length to Weight Ratio, 2 1/4 Inch Barrel Diameter, and the USSSA BPF 1.15 Certification. You can pick yours up today at JustBats.com - where the shipping is always free, and we're here for you from Click To Hit!

Good Bat for the price Brian parent

Pros: Sounds really good when he hits. He has been hitting longer and harder with it. I like it better than some Combat models. Mizuno has a good one here. Rank durability high, Since it is rather new sure on that one yet. I think it will be fine though. Will be keeping it.

Cons: Have not found any yet.

I am looking at a 28"/16 oz model. How does the barrel size and sweet spot compare to the Marucci Hex Alloy Youth? Paul
Both this 2016 Mizuno Generation -12 Youth Baseball Bat (YB16GEN) and the 2016 Marucci Hex Alloy Youth Baseball Bat (MYBHA12) will have pretty similar barrel lengths. Because of that feature, I would say that both options of bat will have similar sweet spots.
