Oh, and I forgot my suggestion. My son played "Fall-ball" for a few years and most of the leagues required wooden bats. Those leagues are starting up right about now - at least here in Michigan. I would head up to my local baseball complex on a Saturday afternoon and talk to the coaches. Lots of chipped, cracked, and used bats to be had. And sometimes a company would set up under a tent and sell them to the kids - especially if a tournament was going on.
