Beginning in 2009, Little League Baseball has adopted the rule that non-wood bats used in ANY of the sixty-foot diamond baseball divisions must be printed with a BPF (Bat Performance Factor) of 1.15 or less.  When this rule takes effect in April, 2009, ANY bat without the marking, or one with a BPF marking greater than 1.15, WILL be removed from the game.  Also, as another reminder, at any time, the barrel of a bat used in any sixty-foot diamond program cannot exceed 2 1/4 inches in diameter.  Also, beginning with the 2009 Little League Baseball season, baseball bats with a diameter of 2 3/4 inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division.  Baseball bats with a 2 5/8-inch diameter are now the 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 (for example, a thirty-three inch bat cannot weight less than thirty ounces) - remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is NOT a requirement in Junior Baseball.

These changes apply only to bats used in the baseball programs.  Softball bat requirements remain unchanged for the 2009 season.
