Another reason to use a -5 bat in practice on a team that plays under different rule sets is to earn your spot.  If you are a player that is fighting for a spot in the line up, than you better bring your best game to practice every day.  No reason to walk into the box during coach pitch BP with your BBCOR when you are allowed to use your -5 XL1.  

 

That’s a terrible indictment of coaches who you’re making out to be ignorant about what equipment their players use or who can’t figure into the evaluation that the performance is helped or hindered by the equipment. But forgetting all that, why not grab an old Titanium or rolled and shaved composite bat for BP to really look good?

You don't give enough credit to the eye test.  Also as Roothog points out, it is not like a kid can't swing BBCOR.  I kid driving it out of the big boy field with his legal -5 bat during BP will make a bigger impression than a kid hitting gappers with his BBCOR.  Regarding other bat options, if they were legal in the league or games the team played, I would suggest the kid use it in BP.
