For me, I don't think about size - I focus more on being powerful and confident.
Are you tall? Are you strong? How big are your hands? You must be honest with yourself or you will end up using the wrong bat.
I was a hockey player growing up. Being a big guy and being imposing, I had to use my size to protect my teammates.

That's the beautiful thing about baseball. You can be any size and be successful.
It's not necessarily size that matters, it's how fast you move that implement.

It makes no difference to me what kind of bat I have. For instance, I often grab the first bat I come across when I go up to the plate. Muggsy McGraw uses a light stick and Jake Stenzel uses a heavy one, but I'm liable to take any one of the miscellaneous lot that falls in my way.
