I am a 12 year old who plays club and Little League. I like the RIP-IT Prototype Senior League a lot, but it only comes in a big barrel, so I cannot use it in my league as well. What bat will perform closest to the Prototype?
The 2013 Marucci Black 2 is a two-piece bat that has a composite handle and alloy barrel, so it will be a little different than the RIP-IT Prototype. I would look at the 2013 Marucci Team Youth models. They will be very similar to the Prototype. Here is the link: http://www.justbats.com/products/baseball%20bats~youth/?s=team
I just bought my 11 year old son who plays in Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken league a Marucci Black 2 instead of the DeMarini CF5 which was our first choice. He tried both bats and seemed to like Marucci better because it was lighter than both at 30" 19oz. He is a contact hitter and I'm hoping this new bat will help him with his hitting. Did I made a good choice? Is the Marucci approved for these leagues also?
Yes, you made a great choice the Marucci Black 2 is a very high performing bat and it will be legal for play in Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken baseball.

The bat info says Extended Barrel for a Larger Sweet Spot, but you post in a previous question that both the Marucci Black, and the Marucci Black 2 are going to have the same barrel size. Is it longer compared to the Black?
