Baseball Bat Rules


For the fall 2011 the existing rule will continue to be enforced:

A bat that is -10 or heavier is legal for 2 ¼", 2 5/8" and 2 ¾" barrel sizes, regardless of composition

If a bat is lighter than -10:

·         No full composite bat is allowed (a bat with both a handle and barrel made of composite materials)

·         If a bat is of a two piece hybrid design (composite handle and alloy barrel) it may be used if it is has a 2 ¼" barrel and is certified with a BPF 1.15 or less

·         If a bat is made fully of an alloy material, it may be used in both small and big barrel sizes

Bats that contain restrictions against use with regulation baseballs or in a competitive setting are not legal in any size or material.
