The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) no longer displays every bat made by bat manufacturers that do not comply with current ASA bat standards. If you want to know what bats are approved for use in ASA Championship Play, follow one of the steps below.

  • check the approved list located in the drop down boxes above and search by the specific manufacturer or select all
  • check for either the 2000, 2004 or 2013 (Slow Pitch Only) ASA Certification Mark (all three depicted above) and then be sure the bat is not listed on the PDF's above as a Non-Approved Bats with ASA Certification Marks by ASA

Please be sure to read the specific ASA rules surrounding bats (a portion of which is located above) for a comprehensive review. Please remember that all bats that do not bear an ASA certification mark remain non approved unless they were made prior to 2000 and in the sole discretion of the umpire would pass ASA certification test if tested. Local ASA leagues and tournaments not conducted as part of ASA Championship Play may alter ASA playing rules as they see fit.
