RE: RULE REGARDING BATS FOR THE 2013 SEASONDixie Boys Baseball, Inc. is very aware of the complexity of the bat issue. In an effort to assist our leagues as well as our Dixie officials, the following statement is added regarding approved bats for the 2013 season. Please note that the rules differ by age divisions!
Dixie Boys (age 13-14)-The bat rule for the 2013 season addresses the use of composite bats.
Rule 1:10—Bats must be manufactured meeting specifications as determined by Dixie Boys Baseball, Inc. As such bats must be manufactured specifically for 13 and above Boys and Majors play and have a minimum 2 1/2 inch barrel to 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter. Bats manufactured for use by 12 and under baseball programs shall not be used. There is no weight to length limitations. Aluminum/alloy barrel bats and all composite handle (only) aluminum/alloy barrels are allowed. Only composite barrel bats certified and marked BBCOR .50 will be allowed.Dixie Pre-Majors & Majors (age 15-19)- The bat rule for the 2013 season remains the same.
BBCOR is the approved bat standard for Pre-Majors & Dixie Majors Baseball. Note: The length to weight "difference" (i.e. -3) will be maintained through BBCOR standards.
