6. What bat restrictions are in place for my league? High School: High school age leagues are all required to use BBCOR bats.

BBCOR stands for “Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution.” This standard regulates how much energy is lost during the bat’s contact with the baseball. The higher the number a bat registers in the test, the more trampoline effect it has. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) decided that 0.50 would be the maximum value a BBCOR bat could achieve; which is only slightly higher than that of a wood bat. All BBCOR certified bats must also have a barrel diameter no greater than 2 ?”, a length to weight ratio no greater than -3 and a length that does not exceed 36”.

All BBCOR bats will have a BBCOR certified label.

7. What bat restrictions are in place for my league? Non-High School Age: All baseball bats used in our league ar to be drop 10 (-10) or lower. The "drop weight" is the difference between the length and weight of the bat. A drop 9 or -9 bat would be legal. A drop 11 or -11 would be illegal.
