Hi, James. A lower drop number for a baseball bat means it's a heavier bat; a higher number translates into a lighter bat. So, a lower drop number doesn't necessarily mean a better bat, but--depending on the player--a higher drop number could lead to more extra base hits and homeruns. Hope that helps.
Each side of each bumper will need a piece 62x12. If you must have the fabric in a single strip, then you'll need 62 of fabric at least 48 wide, so buy a minimum of 1 3/4 yards. If the fabric is narrower than 48, then you'll need 3.5 yards. If you want bumpers for the head and foot, you'll need a total of 4 additional pieces, headboard width + 2x12.

Apply the backing material piece to the back side of the bumper and the let the material ooze out through the holes and groove, then gun some more material while it is still wet and place a contouring plastic on the top and spread it out using a spreader or your hand to match the contour of the bumper edges.
