Would this be good for a 9 year old in the minor league?

it would be ok.. but I would choose one of the newer ones. which would be the green , orange, or black and silver

Not sure what the requirements are for your 9 year old, but the bat has the stamp on it necessary for league play, so I'm assuming it would be fine for you as well. This really is a great-hitting bat.

I got one of this (32"/24ounces) for my son (he is in Travel League) and it is really good for him. My son is 12 at the time and he is a big kid (5'6"). You can choose the size of the bat depending on how tall and the strength your son has so make sure you know the length and size that is good for him. My kid love this bat.

Yes, I got it last summer for my 7 & 10 yeR old grandsons. They have used it a lot and it really helps with their hand/eye co-ordination. The speed of the pitches is adjustable so it is easy to get used to.

I would think so. More money but Jugs is the way to go. It's a very durable rubber. I spent money on 2 other ones for my boys in the past and I don't think either lasted more than a couple weeks. It's not the cheapest.....but worth the money; especially if you think your kid will stick with baseball. Good luck!

There are a lot of small pieces, and the screws are tiny. But with a little help it would be fun for a 9 year old (the ignition timing may be the most difficult for them)

The first thing you need to know is what your league regulations are. At his age I would think nothing over 2-1/4" diameter, but then the next important factor is what he can comfortably swing. If a bat is too large he will compromise his form trying to get it thru the zone. Try contacting your local league and maybe go to a local batting cage and see if they have professionals giving batting instructions. Hope this helps

I think it's a good beginers machine and should do what a 9 year needs to be doing

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion.

It is good for a nine year old. My son was eight when he got his. Don't expect too much out of it, and you'll both be happy.

Catcher's gear shouldn't be a problem. Adding a batting helmet with a catchers mask/helmet could be a bit snug, but maybe not for a 10 year old.

We bought this for our 8 year old. At her ability level, it's perfect for her. It's pitches are consistent within about a 9" diameter and works very well, but pitches overhanded. I asked my hubby (who is their coach) and he suggested the next model up for a teenager in varsity softball with underhanded pitching. He is impressed with this UPM45 model and says it would be "good enough" if that's all you can afford, but their UPM55 might be a better choice. It's red and $380 on Amazon. Reviews seem mixed, but there aren't many so it's tough to say. Perhaps you'll find more reviews at another site. Good luck! We bought this for our 8 year old.

I use it for my son. He's 6 now. Purchased it as he graduated from tball to little league. So that was when he was 4. And will continue to use.. buying a back net proved to be the best partner with the pitcher.

I bought it for my grandson, who is 6. It would be fine for an older player, too.

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He uses it to pitch to and to field grounders. He likes it but I can't say because I haven't seen him use it with a baseball. He throws football passes into it too.

Yes and no. Good for all ages, but a nine year old might not be as taken with it.

I do not think your 9 year old would be too old for this bow set. I bought 2 for my children ages 4 and 7. They use it often and enjoy it and I have to say I also have used it and enjoyed it too. I would think she would really enjoy it.

The I-Screen has less give than the soft toss, however, in my opinion I would not recommend as a pitching screen for youth players older than 12U. It does flex about 6 inches on a solid line drive which.

As a matter of fact my 2 year old son is using it and I often find myself enjoying hitting the balls. So far we have only used it indoors. The balls are pitched at a good rate of speed and level, which is a little too fast for him now. I think as a beginner you will definitely have fun hitting the balls.
