Yes you should. You should start taking batting practice with it. Get use to it. Take dry swings with it. A -8 is alot lighter than a -3. If you don't get one early and try to get use to it you might go into highschool and not be able to catch up to any pitches because you aren't used to the bat.
 
YES. absolutely i started swinging a -3 in 7th grade and it helped so much. I wouldnt start off with something SUPER expensive. I started off with a TPX Omaha and it was great. Im a big fan of Demarini metal bats now and MaxBats when i hit with lumber.


Oh and maybe purchase a Bratt Bat. Its a weighted bat that helped me make the transition. Just don't go overboard with it, because i used to take an astronomical amount of swings with it and it developed some bad habits and got a stress fracture in my lower back.
 
im sorry but if you cant swing at least a 29 oz bat by high school thats kinda sad. hit the gym itll help so much you dont even realize it.
 
if you're in 8th grade, yes...that when i got mine. if you have the money, get the exogrid or the nike aero or whatever its called. get stealth if you like those. also, demarini voodoo isn't bad. theres some other quality bats for less than the expensive ones, though. make sure you go to an actual store to test out the bats and feel their grip and stuff.
you should get used to a -3 cause you'll need it in 2 years.
