That's what I thought until I watched a travel team with some kids he played league ball with using big barrell Demarini bats. Kids that couldn't hit it out of the infield with DYB bats were knocking the shite out of it. And no, he's not Bryce Harper. He's closer to Pujols.

Seems to me at this age he should simply be trying to make good solid contact. If he's doing that with a normal bat then that's all that should matter. The kids launching homers with their all-world bats are living in a fantasy land. If anything he might learn better fundamentals by having to make 100% contact with a regular bat as opposed to getting away with mediocre contact on the special bats.
When he gets to middle school/high school then get him the best stuff. That's when it matters.
