The negative number on a bat represents its length-to-weight ratio. For example, a 30-inch bat weighing 26 ounces would have a -4 designation.

Youth Little League bats allow for a bat with a barrel size up to 2 ¼" in diameter and usually range in drop from (-10) to (-13). Major/Senior Little League bats are many times referred to as "Big Barrel Bats". A Major/Senior Little League bat allows a 2¾" diameter barrel and a (-8) to (-10).
