Avon Grove Area Little League Baseball Evaluations / Tryouts 

The Avon Grove Area Little League is conducting baseball evaluations/ try-outs on Sunday Feb 12th and Sunday Feb 19th at the Avon Grove High School Gym. Please see the allotted time slots that apply to your child. Evaluations /Try-outs are for the purpose of providing Managers with information they can use to draft teams. We encourage all potential team Managers to attend the try-outs and observe the try-out process for the division(s) your child will participate. We also encourage all potential coaches and managers to volunteer by helping to run the try-out stations.

  • Like last year, player evaluations will be scored by an outside organization.
  •  We intend to run a voluntary evaluation for pitchers and catchers. This will be entirely voluntary and not part of the evaluation score. Catchers should bring their full gear if they want to be evaluated.
  •  Unless you have volunteered to manage or coach, we ask that all parents and family members wait outside or in the lobby until try-outs are complete.

 Below are the dates times.

Little League International Announces Bat Rules Changes for 2012 Season
By Communications Division
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
November 2, 2011
In an effort to provide timely information on bat rules, Little League International today announced the bat specifications and standards for the 2012 season. Here are the highlights, followed by the actual text of the 2012 baseball bat rules:
  • For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below: The moratorium on composite-barreled baseball bats remains in effect. However, some composite-barreled baseball bats that have been proven in laboratory testing to meet the BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard throughout the life of the bat, through the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) process, have received waivers. That list is here: Licensed/Approved Composite 2 1/4 Bats.
Note that in the Little League Majors Baseball Division and below, there is no limit on the “drop” weight of any bat.
  • For Junior League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, composite-barreled baseball bats in this division, regardless of barrel size, must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Note that all composite-barreled baseball bats that meet the BBCOR standard have a “drop” of no more than
  • than “minus-3.” However, in the Junior League Baseball division, bats that do not have composite materials in the barrel (i.e., all metal, all alloy, all wood), and meet all other applicable standards, can have ANY drop weight. Bats with a barrel of less than 2 5/8 inches also can be used in the Junior League Baseball Division, but must still comply with all other specifications noted.
  • For Senior League Baseball and Big League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, all bats with non-wood barrels must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Because all BBCOR bats have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3,” this means all non-wood bats in these divisions must have a drop of no more than minus-3.
  • Tamper-Evident Bats: Because the technology to create bats that show evidence of tampering is not yet available, this aspect of the rules that was anticipated and published two years ago, and again last year, will not apply in 2012.
  • Penalty for Use of an Illegal Bat: Previously, the penalty for the use of an illegal bat was simply to remove the bat from the game. In 2012, the penalty has been increased as noted in the rules below.
  • Definition of an Illegal Bat: To narrow the definition of an illegal bat, a new entry was added to Rule 2.00, specifically describing an illegal bat for the purposes of imposing the penalty. As a result, the definition includes altered bats, but excludes a bat that: is no longer smooth because of normal use; is cracked or dented because of normal use; has a handle that has a smaller diameter than the measurement noted in the specifications; or, has material on the grip (or no material) that does not meet the specifications.
  • Softball: All rules regarding bats in all softball divisions remain the same as in 2011. The moratorium on composite-barreled bats does not apply to softball.
  • Licensed Bats: As it has for decades, Little League is publishing a list of licensed bats, all of which have a barrel diameter of 2 1/4 inches. This is not a list of all bats that can be used. As long as the bat meets all the specifications and standards for the specific division of play in question, it need not carry the Little League trademark. (Note that Little League does not license any bats with a diameter of 2 5/8 inches.) The list of licensed 2 1/4 bats can be downloaded as a PDF here: All Licensed 2 1/4 Bats.
The rules regarding baseball bats for 2012 are:Rule 1.10 - Baseball - The bat must be a baseball bat which meets Little League specifications and standards as noted in this rule. It shall be a smooth, rounded stick and made of wood or of material and color tested and proved acceptable to Little League standards.Little League (Majors) and below: it shall not be more than thirty-three (33) inches in length nor more than two and one-quarter (2¼) inches in diameter. Non-wood bats shall be labeled with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less; EXCEPTION: For the 2011-2012 Little League (Majors) and below, for regular season play and Tournament, composite bats are prohibited unless approved by Little League International.A list of approved and licensed composite bats can be found on the Little League website at www.littleleague.org.Junior League: it shall not be more than 34 inches in length; nor more than 2 5/8 inches in diameter, and if wood, not less than fifteen-sixteenths (15/16) inches in diameter (7/8 inch for bats less than 30”) at its smallest part. All composite bats shall meet the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard, and such bats shall be so labeled with a silkscreen or other permanent certification mark. The certification mark shall be rectangular, a minimum of a half-inch on each side and located on the barrel of the bat in any contrasting color.Senior/Big League: it shall not be more than 36 inches in length, nor more than 2 5/8 inches in diameter, and if wood, not less than fifteen-sixteenths (15/16) inches in diameter (7/8 inch for bats less than 30”) at its smallest part. The bat shall not weigh, numerically, more than three ounces less than the length of the bat (e.g., a 33-inch-long bat cannot weigh less than 30 ounces). All bats not made of a single piece of wood shall meet the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard, and such bats shall be so labeled with a silkscreen or other permanent certification mark. The certification mark shall be rectangular, a minimum of a half-inch on each side and located on the barrel of the bat in any contrasting color. Aluminum and composite bats shall be marked as to their material makeup being aluminum or composite. This marking shall be silkscreen or other permanent certification mark, a minimum of one-half-inch on each side and located on the barrel of the bat in any contrasting color.In all divisions, wood bats may be taped or fitted with a sleeve for a distance not exceeding sixteen (16) inches (18 inches for Junior/Senior/Big League baseball) from the small end. A non-wood bat must have a grip of cork, tape or composition material, and must extend a minimum of 10 inches from the small end. Slippery tape or similar material is prohibited. NOTE 1: Junior/Senior/Big League: The 2 3/4 inch in diameter bat is not allowed in any division.NOTE 2: The traditional batting donut is not permissibleNOTE 3: The bat may carry the mark “Little League Tee Ball.”NOTE 4: Non-wood bats may develop dents from time to time. Bats that cannot pass through the approved Little League bat ring for the appropriate division must be removed from play. The 2¼ inch bat ring must be used for bats in the Tee Ball, Minor League and Little League Baseball divisions. The 2 5/8 inch bat ring must be used for bats in the Junior, Senior and Big League divisions of baseball.NOTE 5: An illegal bat must be removed. Any bat that has been altered shall be removed from play. Penalty – See Rule – 6.06 (d). Rule 2.00 Definition of Illegal Bat
Illegal Bat – An Illegal bat is a bat that has been altered or a bat that is not approved for play because it does not meet specifications with regard to length, weight, barrel diameter, labeling or performance standard for the division in which it is used.
Rule 6.06 – Baseball - The batter is out for illegal action when –
(d) The batter enters the batter’s box with an illegal bat (see bat specifications Rule 1.10) or is discovered having used an illegal bat.
Note: If the infraction is discovered before the next pitch following the turn at bat of the player who used an illegal bat -
  1. The manager of the defense may advise the plate umpire of a decision to decline the penalty and accept the play. Such election shall be made immediately at the end of the play.
  2. For the first violation, the offensive team will lose one eligible adult base coach for the duration of the game.
  3. For the second violation, the manager of the team will be ejected from the game. Any subsequent violation will result in the newly designated manager being ejected.

AGALL Spring Training Day at the Blue Rocks

Blue Rocks3

 

4th Annual Avon Grove Area Little League’s Spring Training Day at Frawley Stadium home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks.

 Date: Sunday 4/10/2011 

Baseball

 9:00 AM – 12:30PM   Ages 5-8

1:00 PM -  3:30PM     Ages 9 -12 

Softball

 

2:00 PM -4:30 PM  - Rookies and Minors

 

For the past 3 years, the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Single A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals) has partnered with AGALL to host a Spring Training Day for Avon Grove Area Little League at the Blue Rocks Stadium. AGALL players will perform drills on the same field where over 100 Major League Baseball players began their career and where many others have passed through while playing in the Carolina league.

 

The Spring Training Day will be a clinic focusing on fundamentals. Kids are split into smaller groups and will receive coaching on skills and techniques necessary to master the fundamentals (fielding, throwing, catching, hitting and base running).

 

As in the past, we have had area experts in baseball/softball take part in this day such as John Wockenfuss, Tim Rector (coaches at the high school), Vic Pesce – HS Softball Coach. 

 

You can never work on the fundamentals enough in Baseball and Softball. High school, College and Major League players - hone their techniques constantly to master the five basic skills.  Their practices are filled with drills like the ones we will be performing at AGALL Spring Training Day.

 

Please join us on April 10th; it will be a fun day for the kids and one they will remember for a long time.

 

We will need volunteer coaches to run stations as well as volunteers to check in the kids, timekeeper, runners, etc. etc. 

 

Please let your baseball or softball manager know if your child will be attending Spring Training Day.

Moratorium expanded on the use of composite bats in baseball divisions

By Communications Division

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.

January 20, 2011

This article was updated on February 4, 2011

On Dec. 30, 2010, Little League International announced it had expanded its moratorium on the use of composite bats to all of its baseball divisions, including the Little League (Majors) division, effective immediately.

Because of the moratorium, several common questions have arisen. We have addressed the most common questions below with Patrick Wilson, Little League International’s Vice President of Operations.

If you have further questions, we encourage you to sign on to Little League’s Facebook page. At that page, over the past few days, Little League International staff has answered hundreds of questions regarding the moratorium. The Little League Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/LittleLeagueBaseballAndSoftball

By definition, a moratorium is: An authorized delay or stopping of some specified activity. As applied by Little League International, the moratorium disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with composite material in its barrel unless a specific model shows in laboratory testing that it will not exceed the standard that is printed on the bat, after the bat is broken in.

There is a process through which manufacturers can submit individual models for a possible waiver if they wish to seek it. Individual bat models are tested at an independent laboratory, and the results are conveyed to the manufacturer. If the manufacturer provides the results to Little League, and the bat passes the test, it will be noted on one of the two following lists.

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers for the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League can be found here:

http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers for the Little League (Majors) Baseball Division and below can be found here:

http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm (This list was updated on February 4, 2011.)

Wooden and aluminum metal/alloy bats are not subject to the moratorium. Bats that have only a metal or alloy barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat), and if it meets the other standards (length, diameter, etc. for the respective division in which it is used) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle or the transition to the barrel.

A listing of licensed, non-wood/non-composite baseball bats for use in the Little League (Majors) Division and below can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/2011ApprovedNonWoodBatList.pdf (This list was updated on Jan. 27, 2011.)

"The moratorium is not the result of Little League changing its bat standards, nor was it influenced by any relationships with bat manufacturers," Patrick W. Wilson, Vice President of Operations at Little League International, said. "The decision to place the moratorium on composite bats in Little League’s baseball divisions is based solely on the fact that scientific research showed that composite-barreled bats may exceed the performance standard that is printed on the bats, after the bats had been broken in. Until that research was in hand there was no data to support an earlier decision.

"For the same reason, a delay or phase-in period for existing composite bats would be the wrong decision. A delay or phase-in would mean we would have allowed bats to be used, after we had data from laboratory research to show such bats exceed the standard printed on the bat."

Little League International first placed the moratorium on composite bats in the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League. Subsequent to that moratorium, scientific research that began on October 18, 2010, showed the need for the same moratorium on composite-barreled bats with 2 1/4 inch barrels as well. Starting in September, and throughout the following weeks, this information was conveyed multiple times to every local Little League, every district, to the media, on Facebook, on the Little League web site, and to more than 250,000 parents who had signed up to receive updates from Little League International.

The original announcement regarding the moratorium, enacted on September 1, 2010, is here: http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/CompositeBatMoratium.htm

"We needed to wait to make a decision until there was conclusive scientific research on the smaller barrel bats," Mr. Wilson said. "A decision any earlier was not possible. Within hours of receiving enough of that data to make a decision, Little League made it, and we let our constituents know about it. From the beginning, and throughout this process, we have used the means at our disposal to keep everyone informed."

The moratorium on composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little League.

First Test Results Received for 2 1/4 Inch Composite Baseball Bats
LL Email Header
 
 

 

Dear Little League Volunteers,

 

The first test result has been received at Little League International regarding composite-barreled bats for use in the Little League (Majors) Division and below. Little League has created a list for those bats that receive waivers of the moratorium that was enacted on Dec. 30, 2010.

 

Little League International's moratorium on the use of composite bats extends to all of its baseball divisions, including the Little League (Majors) division.

 

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers of the moratorium for the Little League (Majors) Baseball Division and below can be found here:
 http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm 
 

The list will be updated as more information comes into Little League.
