5'9", but you missed the second part of the question. Just kiddingGuess what? I am 5'9" - so people would naturally say that I should swing something that is 34 inches. But, I don't. I use a balanced 32,22. I have good body tilt, long arms, and set up what I think is fairly close to the plate.
But, in general, I would start a 9yo, with a 29 or 30 inch bat. If you go much shorter, you give up the sweet spot.
Nice topic, by the way.
