Best bat for 8 yr. old?

I'm looking at getting my son a new bat. What's the best out now for an 8 yr. old playing coach pitch?

It's 8 year old coach pitch... Any bat will do. He's not an 8 year old Bryce Harper.

the worst one u can find! "choosing one sport to concentrate on" and "finding the best equipment" has assured that the studds and multi sport kids are fading.

I used to think any old bat will do. Until my 8yo was at camp and used a Marucci cat 5. Better odds of making contact and the ball does carry further. Be cautious of some bats at 2 3/4" due to denting , especially if his bat becomes the "team " bat.
If you guys want to read about the next Bryce Harper, there's plenty of them in the bat comments section at justbats.com
First review of Demarini Vexxum big barrel:
Pros:
Bought new 2013 Vexxum 29/19 last night and today fresh out of the wrapper with only 5 or 6 BP swings... my 9yr son hit his first HOMERUN over left centerfield with his 10U travel team and hit another rocket shot off of the yellow line top of the fence centerfield..he almost had 2HRs in two games today. Great pop and solid line drive shots,over half of the whole team was using the bat today and the balls were flying all over the field. Thanks DeMarini as you say the Vexxum is the "Original Gangster" the OG of G.O.N.E. My son has been quoting that to his mom and teammates after the games today. His goal this year was to hit a HR and the Vexxum help him accomplish that.
Cons:
none go get this bat!
Eta denting

The bat with the most pop for an 8 year old is Worth Lithium Prodigy... the black one. It dents easily though. Have one year warranty so you can send it back to get new one. Kind of a pain the arse to keep sending them back but it does have the most pop.

Marucci Black, Demarini CF5, Easton S1. Any will do and are the top bats. Get him a -12.

Just grab a bat with a 2 3/4 inch barrel

Bats make a huge diff! Get a 2 3/4" barrel.
