Brownstown Little League: Parent's Corner
Beware when buying Baseball Bats
**Note: This does not apply to softball**
If you are considering the purchase of a new composite metal bat for use in Little League Baseball (Major Division and below), be sure that the bat you are purchasing has this marking (BPF 1.15) on the barrel or handle of the bat. If not, it will not be allowed for play in Little League games. Bats that were exempt this marking last season are no longer exempt and will NOT be allowed this season.
ONLY BATS WITH THE BPF 1.15 MARKING WILL BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN 2010.
Baseball bats with a diameter of 2 ¾ inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division of Baseball. Baseball bats with a 2 5/8 inch diameter are now standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior, Senior and Big League).
The “minus-3” requirement-overall weight (in ounces) of a bat can be no more than three ounces below the overall length (in inches) of the bat – remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is NOT a requirement for Junior Baseball.
**PLEASE keep these rules in mind when purchasing your bats for your child for the 2010 season - this rule WILL be enforced**
Please note that these are new regulations put in effect by Little League International. These are not a rules/regulations put in place, but only, enforced by Brownstown Little League and we thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation of these rules/regulations.
