If he's a big kid why not take him to a drop 5? Or better yet leave him at a drop 10?
Just an FYI, rare equals expensive as a general rule. You can find some on Amazon that are fairly reasonable. However, even more rare than a drop 8 is a drop 8 30 incher.
My kid was always big and tall, he swung a drop 10 right up to 14u then switched to BBCOR without a transition bat. It took him all of a week to make the transition. Same thing with the 50ft mound vs the 60 ft mound...about a week and he was zinging them in just fine.
