I imagine going from a drop 10 to a drop 3 bat will cause some issues, as well as the pitchers getting the ball over home plate, and catcher throw downs to second might be more of a "pick" situation than a good throw.

 

Anyone want to share?  Any situation where you remember saying to yourself "That will get better once they get more time on the "BIG FIELD"?

If he can swing it, your son should be using a drop 5 this summer.  Going for a drop 10 to a drop 3 is big.  At least go to a drop 8.  As a catcher (I know your son is one), the trow is longer, but the baserunner has further to run also.  An accurate throw is more important then a fast throw.
