Bat Rules

BAT RULE: TEE BALL, COACH PITCH(AA), MINOR(AAA) & O-ZONE


Approved Bat Rule 1.10– Page 28-29 – Rule 1.10 has in its entirety, been changed to read:


1.10–(a) The barrel of all aluminum, metal alloy, composite, multi-piece wood bats or single-piece wood bats shall not exceed 2 5/8” inches in diameter nor exceed 33” inches in length


1.10–(b) Approved Bats - All non-wood bats and multi-piece wood bats must be stamped with the USA Baseball mark signifying that the bat meets the bat performance standard established by USA Baseball. USA Baseball is the national governing body of amateur baseball in the United States. Solid wood bats made from a single piece of wood do not require the USA Baseball mark but must meet the specifications in Rule 1.10(a). All bats stamped “BPF 1.15” will not be legal for play in all age divisions beginning January 1, 2018.


1.10–(c) Tee Ball Bats – Tee Ball bats will be stamped with the USA Baseball Mark and the language “Only for use with approved tee balls”.


Note: Any bat stamped for T-Ball cannot be used in games played in the AA, AAA, Majors or “O”Zone divisions due to the manufacturing standards for such bats.


1.10(d) Illegal Bat Penalty: A bat which does not meet the specifications in Rule 1.10(a) and Rule 1.10(b) shall be deemed an illegal bat. A batter who uses a illegal bat shall be called out and all runners shall return to the bases occupied by them at the time such batter took his position in the batter’s box if protested by the opposing team manager prior to the first pitch to the next batter. A batter uses a bat when he takes the first pitch from a pitcher during any time at bat. The bat becomes illegal when the batter receives the first pitch during his turn at bat. He does not have to hit the ball. The batter will be called out and any runners must return to the base they occupied prior to the first pitch to the batter.
