At 8, length/weight is more important than anything else. Get a bat that he can swing, otherwise, it'll never leave his shoulder.
Buy used bats now, and when he's 10 or so, go nuts.
He will outgrow a bat every season, probably.

Bat Selection Vid
The first two minutes or so covers what you need to know as far as size and weight. As far as bats go price wise at that age he'll be fine with a $80 Slugger/Easton/Marucci/Demarini from Academy. When he gets older is when I'd invest in the better gear because different bats do have different stiffness levels and noticeable amounts of "pop" between them.

Cat9 alloy. No other choice

If he us pretty decent and can use usssa bat get him a 26/16 or 27/17 cat9. Eliminates hand sting. Last years Rawlings Velo can be had pretty cheap
If USA bat don’t worry about it. Get him anything.
Don’t get a composite

Cat 9 is solid, but kid probably needs a longer bat, kid is about 13yo by now.

The last guy that hit a home run, use that bat.
At least that was standard procedure when I was in little league.

Drop 10 Cat 9
He’ll be mashing.
ETA It’s pricey but he can swing this stick for years

Tell your wife to set up a meeting between her and the coach to discuss bats.

I'm older than dirt. Do bats still come with MLB players' names on them? Get the one from his favorite player.
Posted on 9/14/21 at 10:52 am to lsu777
He's probably in the majors by now.
Posted on 9/14/21 at 10:54 am to JJLSU
If he doesn’t have an endorsement deal by now, it probably doesn’t matter.

Begin by changing his name to Braxton.
