Slow Pitch Bat Standards

2023 Bat Standards

SLow Pitch Ontario (SPO) Bat Standards include a thumb print mark of USSSA BPF 1.20 on the taper part of the bat.

   

 WARNING: Anyone purchasing a new model bat should make sure it has the new “USSSA BPF 1.20” (the "Thumbprint") logo on it. Be sure you know where your new “legal looking” bat has come from. Some illegal bats are being repainted or ‘doctored’ and sold as “legal” bats. These bats can be dangerous and if someone was injured by one of these altered bats, the batter, and the person repainting/selling it, may be liable and any liability insurance they have could be null and void. Ignorance of where a bat came from or that it has been altered is not an excuse. This also means one should be careful when borrowing a teammate’s bat unless you know for sure it is a legal bat. SPO will deal very harshly with anyone discovered using such a bat. Please note that bats with multiple standards listed must meet all the requirements of each of these standards.
