Just bats. IMO
eBay as the USA Bat standards may change everything

It really depends on the bat you choose as to how much it will cost. Drop 8's are rare. Drop 10 and drop 5 are more common. What is making you go the drop 8 route?
justbats.com or get a blem bat from closeoutbats.com

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.
My 12U kid uses a 30/22 torq and has a 30/25 XL1. He is anout 5'4" 113 lbs
My 11u was swinging the 31/23 CF Zen 2 5/8, but it got banned by USSSA. Switched to the -8 Combat Maxum and he really likes it.
