New Composite Bat Rules for 2012
|
|
Little League Baseball has issued new rules regarding composite baseball bats as of Nov. 3rd 2011.
The main change is that Little League is now accepting bats that do not perform beyond a specific level measured by a metric called BPF. BPF stands for Bat Performance Factor. This factor measures the "spring like" effect generated by the bat when striking a baseball. Composite bats have more give to them when contacting a baseball and thus can vault the ball forward with greater velocity than wood or aluminum bats. You golfers out there who are privy to the performance of titanium drivers -vs- steel or wood know exactly what this is.
Composite bats must have a BPF of 1.15 or lower and must be on the list of licensed bats found in the link below.
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm
Penalties for the use of non-conforming bats have now become much stricter than last year (batter is out).
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 -
-
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.
-
For the first violation, the offensive team will lose one eligible adult base coach for the duration of the game.
-
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.
