2024 changes are highlighted

Wood bat divisions- ALL WOOD bats (including bamboo) with a legible ASA/USA stamp. The bat cannot contain any metal/composite component. The following three corndog bats are approved as an exception: the orange and white Demarini corndog, the blue and white Demarini corndog, and the green and white Demarini corndog. The bat must be 2 ¼ inches in diameter. All bats must be approved and stickered by the league before they can be used in-game. 

Metal bat divisions- Metal BATS must be a one-piece pure single-wall bat with a LEGIBLE ASA/USA stamp (year 2000 or newer). The bat cannot contain any “sleeves” or composite components. All bats must pass a compression test and be approved and stickered by the league before they can be used in-game. All bats that are approved for wood bat divisions, can be also used in metal bat divisions. 

Any bat that is deemed unusable or unsafe will be pulled and not allowed

*This bat rule could be changed at any time for any reason if deemed necessary by the Executive Board and Board of Directors.

ADDITION: It is the responsibility of not only the board member on duty but also the players and coaches to be aware of the legal bat list and inspect any bats intended for use in gameplay. Coaches/team representatives will be held equally accountable for the use of illegal bats as the offending player. Use of illegal bat(s) WILL result in automatic ejection of the guilty player as well as the coach/team representative and can potentially result in suspension and/or forfeiture of the game.
